I'm currently working on a spinneret project and it involves two propellers talking with each other. While I work between them, I'm continually having to unplug one usb cable and then plug in the other so I can make changes to or monitor the output ( on the serial terminal ). It would be nice if we could have multiple instances of the propeller tool and the serial terminal running at the same time each pointed to their specific com port so I could stop switching my usb cable back and forth. It would also have the added benefit of eliminating me compile and run my spinneret code on the wrong prop resulting in some really interesting errors on the serial terminal.

You can do this now:

1. Go to Edit->Preferences->Files & Folders.
2. Uncheck the box for "Associated files launch into single editor."
3. Close and restart the IDE for the new setting to go into effect.

Thanks for posting this. I'm working on a project that is using a pair of Propeller boards and it will make it much easier if I can monitor both boards, make changes, and reload either board without swapping cables around. This should speed things up.
