Develop: Pad and real-time read only page/timeslider can't be open simultaneously - WAITING FOR TESTING

-> "Opened in another window."
This behavior can be nasty in some cases.

This is semi-by-design :S I had to merge the sessions/protocols for timeslider and editor to make the editor update in real time. However, that left no way for the server to know if it was talking to the editor or the timeslider, at all. And since the server is designed to only allow one editor per session, it now is kind of designed to only allow one window, no matter the type..

Any chance we can restore the old behavior with some tricks? :(

Yes, we just need to send some extra parameter to the server when
creating a socket, that tells it what kind of window it's from...

@redhog how is your magic coming along on this?

As we have had 0 requests for this since 2012 I'm going to close as it "not a bug that anyone cares about"
