Views
Views all work on the same underlying data - a Gedcom file in memory. This means that
- changes performed in one view immediately become effective in other views on the same file
- selection events from one view propagate to the other views on the same file*
- closing a file will close all views on that file
- context-menus for the displayed information offer actions in all views
Typically you will open one instance per type of view - not necessarily all but combinations that help to navigate and understand the underlying data. For example
- Tree & Table View to browse the existing information
- Table & Edit View to cleanup, catalog and edit the existing information
- Report View to run reports on large files
The combination is not limited and you'll soon get a feeling for which views fullfill your needs. The views will remember the position and size of the enclosing windows so position them as required and they will pop-up at the same place next time. You can also open several instances of the same view to check out different angles - they're numbered sequentially.
