Enhancement request for TidyTabs: Universal 2-pane container
I am a long time user of Tidy Tabs and Aqua Snap and have a suggestion for TidyTabs.
In many user scenarios, a two-pane layout of windows is a useful device.
1) Click and drag for move/copy: One window is the src, one window is the target
2) Navigation with overview: One window shows the hierarchy of folders, one window shows the specific contents
3) Code and run : One window shows the source, the other window shows a shell to run the compilation
etc
TidyTabs allow multiple arbitary windows to be placed in one tabbed "container".
It would be nice if TidyTabs had a two-container device that allows the user to put some windows
in the left container, some on the right. Then the user can keep the two-container as a unit, and
do the above actions between 2 windows cleanly.
Currently, I put all the relevant windows in one "container" and to do the above, I pull out one
of the windows to perform the drag/drop, then put the window back.

The reason the 2 side-by-side windows need to be considered as one container is that it makes sense ( and is convenient ) to manipulate them as a unit -- resize or minimize.
