Takeshi, please stop spreading wrong information.
C::B's design currently associates one editor page with a single editor. So currently what you 're asking is not possible. And certainly it's not wxFNB's limitation...

--- End quote ---
No, it's not wxFNB's functionality. wxFNB just manages pages. What these pages do or contain, is not (and should not) be its job...

Please think before saying things like that... :(

So? It doesn't matter if you can achieve the same effect as "splitting", by having two (or more) notebooks open at the same time.

It's not a current limitation of FNB from the current "split file" point of view. But the same can be achieved by the in-development "draggable tabs" feature of wxFNB, so again, it depends on the way you see it.

And certainly it isn't, but it doesn't matters with draggable tabs.
Please try this before posting furthermore, and you'll understand why "it'll be possible with future versions of wxFNB"

EDIT: Usage:
- First you have to enable notebook dragging by Edit->Allow Drag and drop (2 flags, for the FOREIGN & the other flag)
- Pull one tab from the main notebook, and leave (left up) the mouse
- Position it anywhere
- pull another one
- you got the idea
Thanks.

If you explained better what you were saying in the first place...

Draggable tabs exist in wxFNB for quite some time now. What I saw in the demo was just wxAUI being used in addition.
Like we have now disabled dragging tabs around (except within the same notebook), we 'll probably disable any such exotic functionality in the future (regarding the editor and message tabs, at least). And this is just because such functionality doesn't fit C::B's design point of view. And if you 're wondering why not, then simply think that wxFNB (and wxAUI for that matter) reparent the controls when dragging and dropping. This is correct behaviour from their point of view, but not in the C::B context and the way it manages its resources (at least for now)...
If C::B is ever going to allow splitting a view with different files, this will be an internal implementation.

Yiannis, why can't you just accept it... Takeshi knows better than you...

Yes, my bad, I sometimes think speaking the way most shortly possible would be enough, but is not.

Yes that's what I meant, in conjunction with wxAUI.

Yes you're right, I've taken lot's of things for granted in one shot. With the current way C::B manages it's panels it wouldn't be possible.
I was thinking to do in a similar fashion as "the other IDE" or wxIFM does, which is more or less, admit to drag any tab at any panel, with some exceptions.
This can be crazy if you're not used to it, but just think an example: dragging the Build log to the Editor panel, or as a floating window, so you can read it more comfortably.
I have in mind something like this:
