Window ~~> Show View ~~ all windows that are available to the application can be opened here. For instance, the User Manager and Datasource administration windows are both called from here.
Double click tab - maximizes / restores taxon editor
Right click tab -> close others
Taxonomic Tree ~~> ~~ (Collapse all) - closes the taxonomic tree so that only its roots are showing
Taxonomic Tree
> -><(Link open editors ...) - when this is depressed, within the tree, the name of the taxon editor which currently has focus will be selected. A known bug, which is really more a weakness, is that if the tree is closed so that an open taxon name is no longer visible, upon re-starting the application, the tree will not be able to find the taxon name. This is because the path to the taxon has not yet been revealed during the current session (let me know if this requires further explanation!).Taxonomic Tree ~~> downward arrow (View Menu) -> Customize View -> Content ~~ the user can decide which data types - taxon. tree, taxon, synonym - to show in the tree
Open taxon editors automatically restored from previous session.
Tree state - e.g. open nodes - automatically restored from previous session.
Click on the "-" icon of any individual window - this minimizes the window to its nearest margin, where it is then represented by two icons, one which reveals the name of the window on mouseover and one which says "restore" on mouseover. These have slightly different behavior.
