Multiple Books View Setup Question

tjebme · March 2023

Is it possible to save a floating multiple book view to the shortcuts bar so that it always opens as a separate floating window regardless of what books are open in my current layout? I have a multiple book view that I had opened in a floating view with the ESV as the lead book. I dragged the floating window tab to the shortcut bar to create the shortcut link for this floating window. If I right click the short cut on the tool bar and select "Open in a floating window", the multiple book view will open up a separate floating window. However, if I just select the shortcut, it opens the multiple book view in my currently open layout using the currently open ESV tab in the layout. I do not want it to use the ESV tab in my current layout (I want it to open a floating window with its own ESV book). I also would prefer to just select the shortcut on the shortcuts bar instead of having to right-click the shortcut and make a selection from the menu. Am I missing a step/doing something incorrectly? Thanks.

I think you already got your answer, testing it.

Right-click>window if you don't want to screw up your layout. At some point, there's going to be 2 clicks.

But remember, Multiview settings follow the associated base book. If I Multiview my NRSV, my next NRSV then multiviews automatically.

Thanks. Was hoping I was missing something. Given the lack of the resource Follow Only option (available in the mobile app) I was looking for alternative options in the desktop that worked with my existing layouts without disrupting them, but it appears the multiple books view doesn't quite bridge the gap for me. Thanks again!

I just keep a separate window in my main layout for Multiviews (plural; tabs). For example, I have one for my main commentaries, and another that loads the kitchen sink, per Bible book.

Think that is what I'm settling on for now as well. Thanks for the input!
