Migrating/Customizing Workspaces

[VincentCuclair]

Migrating and customizing workspaces is something that needs to be done at least once a year, at the moment it is quite a tedious process, partly because new functionality often includes new workflows and therefore new palette and tool layouts.

I would like to have some kind of functionality in which it is possible to migrate and at the same time customize and update Workspaces.

Things to take into account:

1. Once a migration is initiated it must be possible to add new functions/tools/commands/tools bars etc. (preferably from a list that only includes missing features).

2. Customization must be made more user friendly, i.e.. selecting and moving/dragging/deleting multiple tools/commands at once would be very useful.

3. Merging workspaces and backwards migration would be nice (but is not of great importance).

4. A nice touch could be to view the old and new workspaces side by side to better coordinate the migration.

This really is essential. They should look at workspace customization in Cinema 4D where you can search for things to add by typing the first few letters of the tool or command. You should be able to drag and drop whole toolsets (and have them maintain their toolset icons too).

+1 more.

While the WorkSpace Editor was sort-of-OK as a a concept it really could do with a Catch-Up Crash Course.

Vincents Drag&Drop "In VW" suggestion is very apt as the editor is perhaps a little long winded only being able to deal with one palette at a time. Side by Side view would be a very practical solution too.
