Multiple Interlinear Windows

Question

Is it possible to open multiple copies of an interlinearizer window, so that you can look at different passages side-by-side?

This is possible for most projects--you just put the windows in different scroll gorups--but I can't find any way to open a 2nd copy of the interlinearizer.

Answer 1

In Paratext 9.5 I opened three copies of the project. For each copy I was able to click on the menu and open an instance of the Interlinearizer. I don't know if this might have any bad impacts on the data, but I was able to open multiple copies.

I'm also on 9.5. I just opened 2 copies of the project and set them to different scroll groups. When I opened the interlinearizer from the first copy, it opened. But when I opened the interlinearizer from the 2nd copy, it just brought the pane I had just opened into focus.

Yes, it appears that Paratext only allows one instance of the Interlinearizer using the same settings. Another option - if this is important to do - would be to make a copy of the project so that you have two identical projects. You should then be able to open the Interlinearizer for each one.

Thank you. That's helpful to confirm.
