Bruce Kieffer Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 This has happened to me a few times. My palettes that were docked become undocked. I see one other post that says the same happens to them. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment
mac@stairworks Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 My Windows machine keeps defaulting back to the architect workspace instead of my custom workspace upon startup. Palettes get rearranged. Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Just happened again. It's quite a mess. I was gone a few days. VW opened to a blank screen when I started my iMac. I quit VW, opened it again by double clicking on the file I've been working on. It opens and my formerly docked palettes are undocked and all over the darn place. I had saved a copy workspace the last time this happened, so I switched to that, and it brought back the docked palettes. I decided to make yet another copy of the correctly working one, but that copy does not have the docked palettes. Go figure. I guess I'm going to have to give up on docked palettes since I'm wasting time trying to keep them docked. That's too bad because I do like them. Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 I just tried restoring my workspace from a Time Machine backup. I went back as far as I could to the point the other day when I had to reposition the docked palettes. The palettes are undocked with that older workspace version too. Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 I just confirmed how to mess up the docked palettes. I opened VW by doubling clicking the app icon, then I quit VW never opening a file, then I opened VW by double clicking my current work file. Docked palettes are undocked. Replacing the workspace with a copy I just created on my desktop moments before I caused the failure does not bring back the docked pallets. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I had disappeared palettes also, but just after I switched to El Capitan. So I think things like that will go with the first SP that makes VW 10.11 ready. Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 I was thinking about this more, and I wonder where the docked palette prefs are stored. Are they kept with the workspace, or with the file? What I think is happening is that when I open VW with no document, the palettes are all over the place. I quit VW, then open VW again by double clicking a file. The palettes are in the undocked locations that they were in when no file was opened. I have the "Create New Document at Startup" pref unchecked. Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 I changed my "Create New Document at Startup" pref to checked. Now when I open VW a blank document opens with the docked palettes where they should be. It's a workaround until this gets fixed. Quote Link to comment
Eoin R Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Has this issue been fixed in SP1 update? We like to docked palettes but after unchecking this so that we can have files open simultaneously we can't seem to get the docked version back Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 ° I just saw that updating to SP1 destroys your docking order completely. Looks like a "Save Palettes Positions" is needed after rearrangement. Will see if it stays. Quote Link to comment
