    Open separate Umbraco windows?

    Hi, I am relatively new to Umbraco and have been playing around a bit.

    While playing around checking things out, like a document, a template, a macro, etc, I seem not to be able to open the separate things in separate windows. each time I want to switch from Settings to Contents ie, I lose precious time since the GUI takes time to refresh etc.

    I would like to have the option to open a new window with any funtionality I assess, like one for the Developer stuff, another with the Content, and another for Settings. Is this possible? Using CTRL+click in Firefox does not work unfortunately.

    i do this all the time and it works well in FF. You can do middle mouse button or right click and open in new tab to have them open.

    Alternatively you could append this to the URL:

    umbraco/umbraco.aspx#content

    umbraco/umbraco.aspx#settings

    umbraco/umbraco.aspx#media

    umbraco/umbraco.aspx#developer

    Cheers

    Thanks Paul, the different URLs work, but using rightclick in FF3, I cannot get the separate windows to open.

    I tend to login directly to the backend rather than work in the modal popup - so i will navigate to http://mysite/umbraco/umbraco.aspx.

    One I have logged in then i right click the sections and 'open in new tab' - which means the content, media, settings and developer sections are all runnnig on sperate tabs.

    Works well for me :)

    I do the same as Chris.  The CTRL+click, or wheel-click doesn't open in new window/tab (as expected), you'll need to right-click and select "open in new ..." option.

    As Paul mentioned above, you can go to a section directly via the hash anchor in the URL, i.e. #content, #media, etc.
