- <para>By default, the WinMerge window displays a single File Compare
- window. If you start another file comparison (by clicking <menuchoice>
- <guimenu>File</guimenu>
-
- <guimenuitem>Open</guimenuitem>
- </menuchoice> and selecting another pair of files) while a File Compare
- window is currently open, the current File Compare window is closed,
- unless WinMerge detects unsaved changes in the left or right file. If you
- have modified either file, WinMerge prompts you to save or discard your
- changes before opening a new File Compare window.</para>
-
- <!--We don't say that the old window is closed, even though most of the time that's what happens.
-If you click Cancel in the Save dialog, WinMerge does NOT close the current window, and you end up
-with multiple File Compare windows. The reasons why this behavior has not been fixed is discussed in
-https://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2001747&forum_id=41637-->
-
- <para>For example, in the next screen shot WinMerge gives you a chance to
- save changes detected in the right side file:</para>

-
- <para>If you plan to work with multiple compare operations simultaneously,
- consider setting (checking) the <guilabel>Enable multiple compare windows
- for File compare</guilabel> option, which is disabled by default. With
- this option enabled, you can open multiple File Compare windows without
- the intervening Save step.</para>

- <para>By default, Compare windows are displayed as individually resizeable
- child windows within the WinMerge window, like this:</para>

- </textobject>
- </mediaobject>
-
- <para>If you maximize your Compare window (by clicking its Maximixe
- button), the window fills all the available space in the WinMerge window,
- giving you the most room possible to work in. However, if you are working
- with multiple Compare windows, only one one maximized window is visible:
- any others are hidden. The screen shot below shows the header area of a
- maximized Compare window:</para>

- <guimenu>View</guimenu>
-
- <guimenuitem>Tab Bar</guimenuitem>
- </menuchoice>.</para>
-
- <para>When you display the Tab bar, each Compare window has a tab that
- shows the filenames of the two compared files. Now, you can easily
- identify the available Compare windows. To open any of them, just click
- its tab:</para>
