lol I think the same. Specially using two displays
I usually run one XSI (the one with ref models) without floating windows... so I dont get confused which window belongs to which session. Just leave the windows inside the viewports.

I really wish to be able to drag stuff between two XSI sessions.... also:
-I wish to drag a model from the browser and XSI ask if I want to use it as a ref model or not.. so I can drag multiple
-I really want to be able to drag Models from the explorer to one folder into the browser, then XSI make it a refmodel. This way could work with multiple models.
-be able to drag models between two different XSI sessions :) drag/copy shader... :D

no.....

i mean if you have a floating explorer associated with each app, its impossible to distinguish which one is which.
and leads to a modest amount of frustration for me, but perhaps it isnt a widespread issue,
just checking.

Can you check out the scene name in the title bar? Is that enough?

im sure this has all been mentioned before but:


i often run two copies of xsi at the same time, ie render scene in one and a referenced model open in another.
but now we have floating windows its impossible to distinguish which window is associated with which copy of xsi i have open.

it would be good if their was some visual feedback (ie lower contrast) on the copy of xsi not in focus.


dragging and droping elements between 2 copies of xsi would also be great (passes, materials, models etc etc....)
