you decide. I've never seen this mentioned before.
Say 'split views', 'dual view' or whatever, and my brain just clicks onto "view more than one location in a single view" and it can be rather useful too.
how about:
go "view > split views > choose 2 (or 3) views"
Take the divider for each view and drag it all the way to the top
Now, pick a divider and click on the little arrow pointing down.
Like that? I do. I'm using it atm for some image work, one of my views being the captionator plugin, the other, the library browser. This sorts out a crash problem when using the back command to return to the plugin
When used like this, it's easy to forget you're using multi views, so points to note:
Could be dangerous: Clicking a divider to make a view visible does not make it active. Remember to click inside the view to activate it. Untill you do that, keyboard presses (delete key?) will activate in the now hidden, active view.
MC remembers the split view settings, but not their locations, so, if you have multiple view when you exit, next time you start, you will still have multiple views, in this same, hidden configuration.
After going from split views to single, then back to split views, MC remembers the hidden configuration, so it would appear at first glance that nothing happened.
-marko.
