Open more than one studio item at once without duplicating actions?


Recommended Posts

Just about every day I am opening up "Layers" from the Studio by going to View>Studio, then I want "History" and repeat the process.

Is there any way that I can leave the Studio open until I have ticked the items I want, instead of this repeating?  

I have looked through the Manual and for Studio it shows 22 entries - I may have missed how to do it, but doubt that!

No is the short answer.

The longer answer is to look at the shortcut keys option in preferences.

 In there you can configure shortcut keystrokes. ⌥ (Alt + letter seems to be configurable) so ⌥ + H would toggle the History Panel.

Then why not just leave these studio panels open all the time? Unless something isn't working as expected on your system, the Studio panel configuration should remain the same each time you start the app as the last time you quit it. IOW, it is what is often referred to in the forums as a "sticky" setting.

If your screen is too small to keep all the Studio panels you want open at the same time, there are options that will help with that.

Hi RC-R,  it's not just when I have a new session,  I can have Layers and History open for one photo, then later when that photo is closed I open another photo and the Layers and History are not there - and I have not closed those panels.  This is in the same session and I go into Studio thinking that - maybe they are there and perhaps hidden behind another window - but they are unticked!   It is certainly not screen size because I use two monitors, one for the program and the larger (about 550 mms) for the image.

Have you tried: View > Studio > Reset Studio
