Rocketdrive Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 v2 is a nice update. Unfortunately, palette docking on macs still hasn't been addressed. While the windows version allows two or more columns of palettes to be docked side by side, in macOS only one column is possible. I much prefer the tidyness of docked palettes, and really can't stand the floting ones Would be nice if finally, after so many years, someone took the time to fix this. Would be interesting to know how Serif thinks about scripting. From the perspective of tech savvy users it opens up so many possibilities. Is it ever coming? artmischke and Cuando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketdrive Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 Thanks @loukash. I wasn't totally clear, what I mean is the possibility to dock yet another palette column, e.g. on the left side of the the right column. It is possible in Windows.

It is possible in Windows. I know what you meant. But that isn't possible on Mac, and if I recall correctly, a staff member once mentioned something on the forum that there are some technical reasons for that. Hence all we can do on Mac is to make use of each side. With keyboard shortcuts it's pretty handy. Usually I have the right studio always on while opening the left studio only when needed. Also, I keep all common panels at exactly the same positions in all three apps and in all personas.

loukash Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 What I'd rather like to see as an option is panel docking into icons/buttons à la Affinity on iPad. Or like Adobe apps, for that matter. Screen estate on a 15" MacBook is precious.

I'm sure there are Maybe some choices earlier on, which now would take a lot of time to correct. Or some 3rd party library that works like this on Windows, but like that on Macs... "It isn't possible" is just so vague, I'd prefer to understand why and I'll leave it be. Ever since I raised the question it just appeared like an oversight. Thanks for mentioning that someone noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
