possible to make tool panels persist on desktop when app is not selected?

[spinhead]

I often write myself task scripts in VSCode based on the layers I've created in a Photo image. Problem is that when Photo is not the selected app, the task panels disappear, leaving only the document window.

Is there a way to make the workspace persist even when another app is in use?

Panels that are undocked will disappear when the app is deselected - this is normal behaviour for Mac apps and there's no way to change it. Panels that are docked will remain visible even if the app isn't in the foreground.
