@ooh

Yes, it was a sad day in Redmond when we realized we didn't have the bandwidth for docking floating documents with our other responsibilities. I can't promise anything in v.Next (since I am but a dev peon), but I can say it will certainly be amongst the ideas discussed in Dev11 planning. I'll add your +1 to that discussion :)

@Ryan: Yep, that's exactly what I expected from the new docking system. Hopefully it'll be in in v.Next.

Thanks, Ooh

@anonymous:

We do display your recent projects, solution, and files in the Win7 jumplist. We didn't have the bandwidth to integrate common tasks into the jump list but we investigating releasing an out-of-band extension that would allow you to do this. If it materializes, we'll blog about it here.

As for the progress bar, we don't have support for the IDE or its packages to leverage the Win7 taskbar functionality. We did investigate this, but found that it was too costly for this release. This is something that we'll consider for a future version.

Thanks,

Do you mean a tab group consisting solely of documents? Unfortunately tear off documents can't be docked with any other elements (other documents or toolwindows) in Dev10.

Any chance of supporting more Win7 features like jumplists and progress bars in the taskbar?

Hi Adrian, very cool that you enabled us to use the popular Win7 shortcuts, thank you very much! :)

What I didn't manage yet is to create a tab group on a secondary screen. Is this possible at all? Because, as you can imagine, I don't want to have a single editor window on my 1920x1600 secondary screen - I'd rather like multiple such windows with tabs at the top for switching between them.

Best regards, Ooh
