PaoloT Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 Hi, Is there a way to collapsing all the palettes in a studio at once, maybe by Alt-clicking one of them? I know I could entirely hide them by pressing Tab, but I would still be able to quickly access them when needed. The only thing I would need it for is to quickly clean the display, when many palettes have been opened. Paolo
walt.farrell Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 You can double-click on the name of a studio panel, and everything in that row of the studio will collapse. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop 1: Windows 11 Pro 24H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

PaoloT Posted June 6, 2021 Author Posted June 6, 2021 Thank you, Walt. Yes, but the other rows are unaffected. When you have opened several of them (links, paragraphs, swatches, alignment…) it would become much faster having a command to close all of them at once. Paolo walt.farrell 1

May you elaborate on this hint? You can create a Studio Preset that encompasses the studio panels you have displayed, and their open or collapsed status. And you can assign a shortcut key to a studio preset, slowing you to switch between them easily. If you had one preset with the panels expanded, and another with them collapsed, and a shortcut for each, perhaps that would handle what you want PaoloT 1 -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop 1: Windows 11 Pro 24H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Basically @Old Bruce and @walt.farrell explained already what I am referring to. Thank you both. Instead of collapsing all palettes with a special command, as you are asking for, Serif provides a more flexible way to customize the workspace. Some people may use this in the way you prefer and collaps (or even completely hide) all palettes, other won't mind. You can assign up to nine keyboard shortcuts to customised workspaces. d.

PaoloT Posted June 7, 2021 Author Posted June 7, 2021 Yes, it may work. Still, I feel this is a convoluted way to do something that could be done directly, with a simple action (Alt-click), that is already standard in many other applications, and even at system level (at least on the Mac). Paolo
