[Qgis-developer] opening same table twice

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi,

IMHO the current behaviour is not optimal. I often see my users having 
the same table opened several times because the expected behaviour is 
that if it is already open it comes to focus (similar as with opening 
files). If the layer has many features opening the same table a second 
(or third) time is awkard as it takes some time.

So how about having an option "Open only one instance of a layer's 
table" that is ticked by default? Just untick if you need to compare 
tables (e.g. with different filters applied).
