3.1.5.2 Per-window control of re-use

When the Reuse all tools option is on, tools windows are reusable by default. However, it is possible to specify that a particular instance of a tool is not reusable. To make your Inspector not reusable, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that the Reuse all tools option is checked under LispWorks > Preferences....
  2. In the Inspector window, open the menu Window > Customize and deselect the Resuable option.
  3. Now try Window > Tools > Inspector . A new Inspector window is created.

The Reuse all tools option is persistent, but the per-tool setting Resuable applies only to the current instance of the tool, and it does not affect future sessions.
