Missing 'Develop' button in 'Separate' window mode [Solved]

[Sofa Gas Rue]

Solved:
From Strokerg: "I had this on my Mac here in the office, which only has 1 monitor and the only way i found to fix it was to reset the app.  Just start Affinity with the Control key held down and you should get a popup asking if you'd like to reset some settings, 3 options will be selected and you can just click clear.  If you now enable separated mode and open a RAW file, you should have that toolbar back."

 

Hi, New-ish to Affinity Photo so this might be an expected feature, but I've not been able to locate any information on it on the forums or manual ( or maybe I've searched for the wrong thing. )

Issue/situation:
When developing raw images in 'Separate' window mode, the 'Develop' Button is not present - only when they are all merged in a single window.

Question:
How do you 'Develop' a Raw image when viewing them in Separate window mode?

Screenshots:
See screenshots of the develop button present in 'merged' window mode and missing in 'separate' window mode.

Operating system:
OSX Catalina 10.15.2

Affinity Photo:
Version 1.7.3

Unusual hardware:
Wacom tablet Intuos pro

Any help or input on this matter is much appreciated, as I'm considering moving from other editors to Affinity Photo.

Thank you in advance.

PS: if this post is in the wrong forum, then please let me know, and I will submit it in another.

Make the corresponding panel visable on screen, toggle it's view on/off ...

• Customizing the workspace
• etc.

Hi V_kyr,

Thank for the input. I've already seen the guides but I am none the wiser. 
See screenshot of my setup. All the panels are out and the toolbar is set to visible but the one you point to in your image I can't find.

Could you kindly tell me where it's set to view on? – I must be glazing over it every time I look.

Hi Sofa Gas Rue and Welcome to the Forums,

Do you have more than one monitor connected?  It's possible that toolbar is popping up on the 2nd screen

I had this on my Mac here in the office, which only has 1 monitor and the only way i found to fix it was to reset the app.  Just start Affinity with the Control key held down and you should get a popup asking if you'd like to reset some settings, 3 options will be selected and you can just click clear.  If you now enable separated mode and open a RAW file, you should have that toolbar back.

Since i've done the reset, i've not had this happen again

Hi Stokerg - you're an absolute legend!!!!!

That did the trick - I don't work with a second monitor but who knows what I get up to in the wee hours!

Thank again!
