VW Palette Docking and Multiple Documents

[Kevin McAllister]

Please make the palette docking independent of the document windows. The palettes should dock to a background "canvas" or in some way that its still possible to view multiple documents at the same time. See Adobe Photoshop for various options. The current implementation is very weak and so many users are struggling to see multiple documents using their old workflow.

Also, when turning on and off palette docking to view multiple documents, VW should remember the last docked state. Right now you need to turn on palette docking and re-dock all the palettes. Not very user friendly.

In 2015 the "save palettes" worked for me.

That should work for 2016 too when palette docking is off.

This gave me much more flexible palette positions than real docking in 2016.

The palettes stayed reliable, the space left let me to arrange files in any way.

I had these always 95% overlapping though. Just small borders to access

background files faster.

The Mac short cut to switch between files currently does not work but was said

to come back soon.

Agreed, request submitted.

This would also remove the strange half-open appearance when you have no document windows open on a Mac but have palette docking enabled.

So true :-)

Thanks Jim!
