3317	Plot curves from different files	anonymous	Adeel Asghar	"When simulating, it is very common to have to compare results from different runs.
This is somewhat made difficult by OMEdit that manages one output file with the same name at a time.
It would be not a bad idea to somehow identify multiple output files with the same name, for instance in a way similar to dymola's, and allowing them to stay loaded simultaneously,
A workaround for this problem is to duplicate a model before running it with different parameters, using a different name.

A second issue is that the plot curves are named only with the name they have inside their file. When comparing curves from duplicated files, therefore,  the user is a bit confused since it is not straightforward to understand to which file each curve belongs.

I know that adding the file name to each curve would make the curve names become too long. Therefore my proposal is to display the full name, comprising the file name, only when the mouse hovers on the curve name. In Qt, if the curve name is a label widget this is straightforward.
When the mouse cursor is elsewhere, to display only the names that are displayed now is ok. "	enhancement	closed	low	never	OMEdit	trunk	duplicate
