maciej.pikula Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Hello, is it possible to dock two lines of sidebar on the left? As shown on screenshoot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 19, 2021 Staff Share Posted January 19, 2021 Hi maciej.pikula, If you mean vertically - yes. Drag the tab of the panel you want to the bottom of the left or right studio where it touches the status bar. A small blueish rectangle should appear - drop the tab at that point. two_lines_tabs.mp4 If you mean horizontally, you can also have two or more studios horizontally - both on left or right side - on Windows, but not on macOS.

Staff MEB Posted January 19, 2021 Staff Share Posted January 19, 2021 @Pšenda As i've said above that's not possible on macOS. Only on Windows. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but your video shows something completely different that the OP doesn't seem to require.

Staff MEB Posted January 19, 2021 Staff Share Posted January 19, 2021 By two lines, i assumed two lines of tabs/panels vertically (as in a table, in the same column). The screenshot was a bit ambiguous because shows both situations. The video shows my first assumption because you can't do/perform the second (horizontally) on macOS which is what the OP is using. Thus the reference on the bottom. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never realized that on Windows we could have more than 2 studio columns docked on the left. I don't have a large enough monitor for that to be feasible, but it's good to know it's possible.

Staff MEB Posted January 19, 2021 Staff Share Posted January 19, 2021 @maciej.pikula Have you tried to use Separated Mode, with all windows merged (both commands in the Windows menu)? It's not exactly the same but lets you attach panels horizontally/vertically as you see fit. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maciej.pikula Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 As a workaround I place Pages sidebar next to the left sidebar as I shown in the first post. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted January 19, 2021 Staff Share Posted January 19, 2021 I see. My apologies Pšenda, i didn't meant to upset you. Was just pointing out it wasn't possible on macOS. Pšenda 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icreate Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 @MEB, do you think it's likely to be added for the Mac anytime soon? (I did ask the same question back in October 2019) This is the only thing which really bugs me - I find I have to keep expanding and collapsing palettes because there's no room to keep them all open and fit in vertically and it gets confusing trying to remember where each of the palettes are and swapping between them all the time. With Indesign I have one vertical 'dock' for pages, links and layers; another for typography, and a third for swatches, gradients and colours. It works really well. Is it really low down on the "things to do list", or is there a more unsolvable technical problem at play? Just wondering - I suppose its good that this is the only thing which I really long for, everything else is perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
