I work both with my MacBook Pro hooked up to my large desktop monitor and in laptop mode. But when I open any Affinity app on my laptop after I've used them on my large monitor the windows are bigger than my laptop screen. Two sides of the window are off screen. Sometimes it's the title bar and contextual menus which are off screen. As such the window re-size edges are off screen so I can't reduce the size of the window. I have to re-open them on my large monitor and manually drag the windows much smaller to have them small enough to use on my laptop.

"Studio Presets" enable you to save a current panel/window setting and recall it if needed and thus toggle between two settings with one click.

To save your workspace arrangement as a preset:
  • From the Window menu, select Studio>Add Preset.

For future selection, the named preset you save will be shown in the same submenu as the above command.

Panel arrangements are saved 'per Persona' so you have independent panel arrangements when swapping between Personas; presets are also stored app-wide rather than being per document.

 

To load a Studio preset:
  1. From the Window menu, select Studio>Manage Studio Presets.
  2. Select a preset from the list, then choose Load.

Walt, you nailed it. Zoom does indeed snap the window to the size of the monitor. But Thomso's suggestion of setting a preset for each monitor size sounded good but it doesn't work. It doesn't reset the window size, it just resets the panels in the Right Studio.
