We've been using nip2 for larger and larger projects. They've started spanning multiple workspaces --- up to 13 in one case. To make these large projects easier to manage we've extended nip2 so that a single .ws file can contain many workspaces.
These multiple workspaces show up in nip2 as tabs. On startup you now see something like this:
You can create new tabs, merge tabs, drag tabs between windows, duplicate tabs, all in the obvious way. There's one other obvious feature: columns now auto-arrange, with an animation as you drag them around. This makes managing large workspaces simpler.
Compatibility is good. If you load a tabbed workspace into an older
version of nip2, you'll only get the first tab. If you load an old
workspace into the new nip2, it'll appear as a workspace with a single
tab.
There are test Windows and OS X binaries, and a source-code tarball for linux if you'd like to try it out. Now is the time to ask for changes if anything is broken.
Here's nip2 running a huge workspace made for the British Museum:
I was wondering if there's version of that specific workspace (a working one) available somewhere for download. The ones I've tried all had some sort of a problem.
ReplyDeleteWould it be possible to obtain a copy of that specific workspace?
ReplyDeleteI have tested numerous versions but none of them worked fully.
