Multiple Documents or One Window?

March 26, 2011
macOS Packrat

Packrat 2.0 supports multiple accounts. It does this by having a multiple document architecture where each document is an account. I’m just wondering. What do you think about this? Do you like it, or would you rather have a single window user interface with multiple accounts in the same window?

This comes up because I am considering creating a Packrat Lite version for the Mac app store that would be free, but it would only support one account and only a certain number of pages. This means I either have a single window interface or prevent the user from opening another document, which is kind of clunky.
