woefi Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 Sometimes I experience that closing a document leaves the empty "window" open. I cannot recreate this now, but it happened in the past: for example when I choose "edit in designer..." in the retail version. Now it happened in the 523 beta with a Document I had open for maybe 3 days and then saved and pressed Cmd-W to close it.

thomaso Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 I experience this, too – and I do appreciate it. Like woefi I am working in Separated Mode and on 2 monitors, APub's document window is placed on the external screen, all document windows get merged there manually via the extra menu command. For this use this 'empty window' shows that the window size and position is in the app's memory. Nice. Unfortunately any newly opened document doesn't go there (instead insists to appear on the internal screen, behind the panels) – At least I can use this 'empty window' to merge all documents there. Sometimes. In case it works. macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1
woefi Posted January 10, 2020 Author Posted January 10, 2020 well... In my case, I'm not merging all the documents. So, next to my other document, I see an empty window, which I cannot reuse... (I'm understanding that you use it as an anchor for AfPub to always put newly opened docs on the right monitor? You've got much humor, I see) Main machine: iMac 2019 (21,5-inch 4k, 6core), 64GB RAM, 1TB nvme + 2TB ssd, running on Mac OS 14 Sonoma; Display setup: 28" 5k Display (primary) + 21,5" iMac4k-Display for studio panels (secondary); Keyboard layout: german apple extended keyboard (aluminium);
thomaso Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 woefi, you can reuse this empty window also by manually dragging another document window title bar onto the empty one. That colors both windows and, if you release the mouse, merges them. Yes, I use this empty window as an anchor, with the advantage that both its position and its size doesn't need to be set manually. So its a pragmatical use of a cumbersome workaround – but in what way "much humor" ? macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1
Staff Gabe Posted January 23, 2020 Staff Posted January 23, 2020 Hi both, Can you still replicate this in the latest beta?
