What if I want one window in the MDI to be large and the other small? I have to make the container window large to accommodate the large window where it occludes the windows of other apps , but that wastes space when looking at the child. Tabs also add clutter and consume real estate in your windows. In summary, it hard to think of any situation to use MDI. SDI also allows different kinds of windows e. Users can alternatively resize and reposition the windows so they can look at multiple at once.
Each window can be sized independently to optimize screen space. Compelling reasons include some subset of the following:. Each tab is used for unrelated high-order tasks and user will not be switching among tabs frequently or comparing information across tabs. Tabs are fixed in number and permanently open e. The user is not saddled with trying to distinguish between closing a tab and closing the entire window; figuring out the window to navigate to is not an issue because all windows have the same tabs.
There is really only one way to properly arrange the data for task, with no variation among users or what they actually use the app for. You might as well set it up for the user with a combination of tabs and master-detail panes and rather than relying on the user to arrange and size SDI windows right. The old-style MDI where to switch between documents, you had to go through the Windows menu was annoying. The newer MDI like tabs in Opera and Mozilla make switching between documents very easy and seem to have been accepted well.
They also don't clutter your taskbar as happens if you had more than one document open in something without MDI. But don't use programs like Microsoft Excel as your model. You get one window on your desktop, regardless of how many spreadsheets you have open which may or may not be your preference.
But you get one taskbar icon for each and every document you have open. Plus, there is an additional icon in there just for 'Excel' which takes you to whichever document happens to be 'current'.
