How to no "re-use" a Favorites Window

Recommended Posts

Please forgive me if this is a silly question, but I haven't quite discovered how to do this yet. I use Favorites frequently to search several resources at once. For example, if I want to check a Greek word against several lexicons, I have a Greek Lexicons favorite and I simple right click on the word and direct it to Greek favorites. Now this works great until I'm wanting to examine two words in a passage at the same time. When I got to search the second word against the Greek Lexicons favorite, it re-uses my favorite window. Now most of the time this is great behaviour because it keeps from having a lot of open windows. However, sometimes I want to keep up the previous favorites windows and open a new one. How can I mark the first Greek Lexicons favorite window to not be reused?

Click the green "recycle" indicator post-72-1250016249.png right above the search button in the relevant tab/window to toggle this behavior...

Well, that would be logical but it doesn't work. I have several tabs on my favorite window and even if I toggle the recycle behaviour off on all tabs, the favorites window is still re-used.

Yes, favorites are designed to be reused, to reduce screen clutter. It might work to rename the entire workspace if you want to preserve it, you would have to do a Save as. Another solution would be to duplicate the tab and then detach it from the workspace (command D and the option-command T).

Thanks for that idea, that helps.
