            Bug ID: 427264
           Summary: Feature request: multi-tabs, multi-window interface
           Product: khelpcenter
           Version: 5.7.6.200780
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

SUMMARY

Currently KHelpCenter lacks any multi-window or multi-tab support. Which makes
it extremely useless: one can open as many Konsole terminals running manual
pages, but only one page at KHelpCenter at a time.

This brings us to a second, closely related issue.

Multi-instance is also unsupported -- which would be good if only we had
multi-window or multi-tabs. I tried running second instance while first one was
minimized: visually nothing happened at all.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Main issue:
1. Launch KHelpCenter
2. Try opening any two articles at the same time.

Secondary issue:
1. Launch KHelpCenter
2. Minimize the-main-and-the-only window
3. Launch KHelpCenter's second instance

OBSERVED RESULT
Main issue:
There's no way having two articles open at the same time.

Secondary issue:
Nothing visually happens.

EXPECTED RESULT
Main issue:
Multiple windows and/or tabs should be supported.

Secondary issue:
I would expend one of these to happen:
- Open second window
- Open new tab
- At least bring minimized window to front
