Dragonfly - multiple instances (Panel)
In version 9, and 10 (not positive about Opera 11), DragonFly could be used on multiple pages/tabs without issue.Currently in Opera 12.x that is not the case.
1) DragonFly is active in a given window on a given tab.
2) Attempt to "inspect element" in the same window on another tab.
Result: DragonFly doesn't properly load the Dom/and info for the page. It needs to be closed and reopened.
1) DragonFly is active in a given window on a given tab.
2) Attempt to "inspect element" in another window on another tab.
Result: DragonFly doesn't open for that page, instead it jumps back to the window/tab where it is already open.
These things make DragonFly much less useful to use. You cannot view two pages (or more) back to back - without closing DragonFly, thus you cannot make comparisons or changes in one instance and check it in another.
I would really appreciate if:
1) Multiple instances of DragonFly could be active at the same time.
2) It wont show on every single Tab/Page on the Window where it was opened. Just on pages where you activated it.
3) DragonFly could be added to Opera's Panel, much like "Windows" and the other items in the panel.
4) To find your running instances of DragonFly you would go to the panel, and click on the listed items there
---> Which would activate the Tab/Page where DragonFly was opened, or the Window of DragonFly if it was detached/undocked.
This will make Opera's DragonFly a much more useful developer tool,
Thank you.
