V15 diagram tabs - how to turn off the "linked" diagrams?
« on: July 17, 2019, 12:46:58 am »
I have taken to using Navigation Cells and creating a master page with links to navigate my diagrams. Prior to V15 each Navigation Cell opened a diagram in a new tab, but with V15 a Navigation Cell opens the diagram in the same tab and my navigation page disappears :-(. The "close diagram" cross on the tab changes to a back arrow.

I can't find the option (which I hope exists) to revert to the original of opening Navigation Cell links in new tabs (and no reference to the change of functionality exists in the User Manual for V15. Can someone point me to how to change this functionality back to V14 method of opening each diagram in a new tab.

There's a recent post on why V15 opens only a single diagram and how to change that. Good luck with the forum search (IIRC KP answered).

This feature was added in EA 15 RC1 (build 1504). From the build 1504 release notes:
"Added support for web style back navigation when following a hyperlink on a diagram"

You can disable this new feature and restore the previous functionality by opening Start > Desktop > Visual Style and disable the option "Enable Diagram Browser Navigation".

I believe this is a feature with a great potential. But could you change it, so the user could either open a new tab, or continue in the same tab -differently in every case (like in browsers)?
It would be nice if user could set a default behavior and use the alternative behavior in conjunction with another key - prefferably ctrl, or any (configurable) key. Similar behavior is even now possible with deleting - you can delete element on the diagram (DEL), or delete element from the model (ctrl+DEL).
