    Does this mean we're 1 step closer to multiple Effects windows?!

      I saw that 7.2 contains this new feature:

      "Multiple Media Browser panels can be open at once for browsing multiple projects or locations simultaneously"

       

      Does this mean we could be one step closer to Adobe finally giving us the ability to open multiple Effects windows?!!!  IMHO, the ability to open multiple Effects windows and/or open Custom (Effect) Bins in new windows (just like you can open Project window bins in their own windows) would be far more useful! 

       

      What would also be very useful would be the ability to stretch out Effect windows or Custom Bins horizontally to have effects displayed side by side either in a single or multiple rows.  This would allow users to open a Custom Bin above their Timeline, for example, displaying a single row of their top 5-10 most used effects and transitions!  Now, anytime the user wants to find a less commonly used effect by using the search field in their main Effects window, they wouldn't lose view of their favorite effects.

       

      Duplicate Effect windows would each contain their own search bar, while Custom Bins opened in their own window would only show the Bin's contents, for simplicity sake.

       

      In my editing, I find that 90% of the time, I resort to the same 10 effects.  So being able to have these effects/transitions ALWAYS in view, even when doing a Search or twirling open other effect bins to hunt down seldom used effects, would be incredibly helpful!

       

      Please Adobe, I know you can give us this great feature!  I requested it while beta testing CS5 for you.  Could the fact that you now allow us to open multiple Media Browsers be a sign that we're closer to finally getting this great feature?

       

      Here's hoping so!
