I probably know the answer to this question but can I open a layout in a floating window without disturbing what is currently on my screen?

I'm guessing that may require a second instance of Logos. It would be nice to have the option to either send a layout to a floating window or to open a second instance of Logos.

EDIT: After I typed this I found this Feedbear idea to vote for:

Allow multiple application instances | Logos

    Just for anyone else, Logos does support opening a folder of favorites into a separate window. 

    - Not a series of carefully planned panels.

    - Unlinked, but do use last settings

    - And never quite satisfying

    Examples I have used: a DSS group, a Josephus/Philo group, an Enochian group, etc  Basically, subject-centered, to add while studying.

    Well, a layout might contain one or even more floating windows, so it wouldn't fit into one. And some things can be opened only once per instance. A second instance of Logos is not really planned - but you can still have it by installing Logos and Verbum side by side. Thus you can open the layout of your choice in Verbum without disturbing what Logos is showing (or vice versa). The drawback is that both are separate installations - which is great since it allows different versions, thus many people including myself run one in beta and the other in the latest stable version - so it means double the amount of SSD-space needed.

    Yes, I use my Verbum as a test account so I don't want to be logged into the same account in Verbum and Logos. And I don't want to have to download my main account library twice.

    A second instance or something comparable to Workspaces in Accordance should become planned. We need this. Hopefully more people will vote on the Feedbear link above.
