Diaryl Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Can you please advise me – with my Affinity Photo 1.8.4 when I select from menu bar any items (example View) and a drop down box appears (example studio) – then toggle down to next selection (example library) the opening dropdown box appears to the left side of the first dropdown box – arrows in the first dropdown box point to the right side. This was reversed in my first Affinity Photo. Is this something that I have done? I have attached a sample for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aad Slingerland Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I think you did not change this yourself. Since version 1.8.4 some Studio panels (like Library and Macro) are shown in the so called 'Left Studio' collection of panels whereas the (more default) panels like Histogram, Colour and Brushes are shown in the 'Right Studio' collection of panels. There's also an option to show or hide the complete 'Left Studio' or the complete 'Right Studfio'. Why some panels show up Left or Right? Hmm... still figuring that out.

Diaryl Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Thank you for your answers - still no luck - I have just downloaded version 1.8.5 and still the same result as attached image. Second dropdown box goes to the right. Does not effect my Affinity at all. Thank you for your trouble & answers. Just an old fellow enjoying Affinity.

Aad Slingerland Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The article MEB pointed to did work for me, however. Did you close and re-open Affinity Photo after changing Left-handed/Right-handed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I remember it, neither a Windows nor an application restart was required when I last changed that setting.
