Just out of curiosity (and I hope this doesn't drag the thread somewhere
unuseful, if so I continue further off-list) -
What's the context for multiple images in multiple windows? Are you doing
comparison work? Something else? Is it a very frequent use case?
For me two things:
1) Yes comparison ... lets say you took a few photographs and want to pick one.
While flicking between images helps sometimes you'd want to see them
side by side.
2) Different context ... I am viewing image x on workspace 1 that has
something to do with the task on that specific workspace ... if I for
whatever reason view an image on a different workspace (different task
/ context) I don't want to replace the already opened unrelated one ..
that'd be just inconvenient.
