Enable graphs to open in separate windows in an easy way

[_Olivier_L]

It has never been clear to me how Designer manages its graph window. When double-clicking on a graph from the Explorer, it replaces the graph in the current graph window. What if I want to have two graphs into two separate views? There is no "Open in new Window" menu. And there are also specific behaviors when we are into Editing in Context mode.

I end up constantly opening graphs into mostly the same window, which is wasted time, especially when the graphs have a lot of parameters.

Hello @_Olivier_L,

In my opinion, this is indeed not very explicit, but you can have seperate Graph windows from different graphs.

Pin your current graph and open a new one. You should now have two Graph windows from two graphs.

Oh nice, thanks for the tip, this is going to be very useful! So support for independent graph windows is already in, this is just a matter a making the user interface more explicit about it. I'd suggest the following:

• "Open in new tab" context menu when right-clicking a graph in the Explorer.
• "Open in new tab" context menu when right-clicking on a graph tab, it will open the same graph into another tab.
