Tripredacus Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Well the way to connect the windows doesn't seem to work in Windows 7, such as resizing both at the same time when snapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bphlpt Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Well he did say:... that wasn't included in the final release (Windows Vista).And apparently not in Windows 7 either. (And I assume not in Win8?)Cheers and Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Well with Windows 8, it doesn't seem to like having multiple things up anyways. For the Snap thing in 7, the article is about Vista but I admit it wasn't ever something I even attempted to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorgeA Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 If it were ever implemented, that Longhorn feature could come in very handy in certain scenarios, professional or otherwise.I could see, for example, comparing a foreign-language manuscript to a translated version, to see if all the elements match, or a previous edit to the corrected version side by side. It would cut down on a ton of manual scrolling if the files were to scroll up and down in tandem.There would need to be a way to turn off the tandem scrolling, though, as in some cases you DON'T want the other window to change as you move around in the first one. But in some cases the function could be a real timesaver. Nice find, UltimateSilence! --JorgeA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
