It used to be that if I opened a dataset tag and was looking at it or editing it, it would stay open until I closed it.

This was very useful to take snapshots of it, have time to reference something else while editing it or looking at it etc.

Now however, if I open a dataset and then go do anything else, it closes automatically. This is annoying especially if you have edited something but not yet clicked apply.

Request to IA: can you please make it go back to stay open until I choose to close it?

Thanks,

Nick

To properly submit your feature request submit it there. (unless its a bug)

Alternatively, you copy the datasets and put them into notepad++ or something and paste them back when needed.

Also, can't believe I forgot but what version are you on?

> The number of time I've accidentally closed these little popup edit windows and lost all my changes is quite a lot, as often I'll want to jump to another application to copy and paste something, or check something, and the window then closes because they're background-dismissable.. Can these be made to only close by OK or Cancel? [image] Vote here:
