VectorCat Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Maybe this is a feature, but it feels like a nasty bug. If I Hide Studio, I may want to clear up the interface visually, but I don't want to lose all functionality. Is this our choice? I want and need to be able to make all the tool palettes go away, but I also, equally need to be able to summon certain things back, whenever I need to. For example: hide all the tool palettes, but let me pull up the layers pallet when I need to see what's on the layers, or the text frame pallet when I need to do something to a text frame. Thoughts?

walt.farrell Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 If the Studio is Hidden, it's all gone. And that's by design as far as I know. Perhaps you should consider creating a Studio Preset (Window > Studio) which contains all your usual panels, and another that contains just the subset of panels you want. Then, rather than Hiding the Studio, you can switch between Presets when you need the less cluttered workspace.

VectorCat Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 Thanks, Walt..good to have that confirm. Sounds like Presets could be the salvation. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 As workaround you can undock the desired panel first + choose hide left/right studio (assign shortcuts if wanted) to get the undocked panel(s) only.

VectorCat Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 When I undock the desired pallets and then hide studio, all pallets disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are using Hide Studio. That is not what @thomaso suggested, which was to turn off Show Right Studio and Show Left Studio. thomaso 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
