Jowday Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 It's not all that important but I would love if I could hide or enable studios by fx right clicking a studio tab and selecting from there. Doing the same through the menu system several times in a row several times a day is a little annoying.

CLC Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 I agree, have suggested before to move the View>Studio submenu to main menu for easier access, two less clicks or mouse moves for all the Affinity apps.

walt.farrell Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 Just to make sure everyone knows, if there are particular studio panels you need to show/hide frequently, you can assign shortcut keys to them via Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts. Look under Miscellaneous, and scroll down to Toggle...

Mark Ingram Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 You can also use the middle mouse button to hide a studio panel (though appreciate there's no quick way to get it back...). walt.farrell 1 Quote

Thanks for the tip (that only works when docked but then you have the x of course). Enabling studios is what I need the most. In Publisher I utilize the different studios on and off in an almost random pattern during either early construction work or finalizing. Finding and enabling them in the program menu is not all that fun. Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

I think that a double-click on a panel name on the tab will collapse everything in that part of the studio (from memory, as I'm not near the computer right now).

True that but even collapsed it takes some time to locate them and show them. I do try to group and hide them in a meaningful way. Right clicking a studio title and enabling/hiding studios quickly would just make it all easier - the menu would also serve as a quick overview. A scenario where it really hurts is when you want to activate many. Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

Collapsing a set of panels gives you their titles. Then double-clicking restores them all. How is right-clicking on the title better than double-clicking it? And, where is the title going to be visible for right-clicking if the panel is totally hidden rather than collapsed? Guess I'm just not understanding your vision for this. Sorry.
