standard view when opening

[Gerard2]

ASP opens always with a row of thumbnails and space for the main picture.

If I last had only thumbnails, it still switches back. Bibble used to remember the last used view...

Is there a way you can force ASP to select a certain view or go to the last view used ?

On the linux version (Ubuntu 11.10) it does remember the last photo selected and loads it when the program starts.

It doesn't, however, respect the last view. As the TO noted: last picture plus preview strip is what opens, even if you closed ASP with a different view.

I do see it as a small niggle, but would be nice if it opens exactly the same as when it was closed. I rarely use the filmstrip on top view, so I'd rather have it open at the thumbnails on default.

Here on Win7 64 - I get the last image previewed, but always in standard view - whichever view I had when I closed the program.

FWIW ASP remembers the orientation of the thumbs (top or left) in Standard View but doesn't remember a closed left panel (it always starts open). I always have the Tools Panel floated & on my 2nd monitor so haven't bothered playing with that but just note that it reopens where I left it.

Rick.

On my Win7 64 bit, it will not remember the filmstrip orientation (keeps putting it on top--I want it on the left); however, since I've floated the tools panel to my other screen, it remembers that. It also won't leave any of the other tool panels open (history, etc).

The UI needs a lot of work still.

Under Linux I can see the same annoying effect. The left panel is open when AfterShot starts. I want it in the state it had on last AfterShot shut down.

How did you float the tool panel to your other screen? I've looked throught the forums but can't find that subject. I thought I had read somewhere that we couldn't do that. I would really appreciate an how to.
Thank you.

Yep, as simple as that. Then look at the customToolsUI customization to set up & arrange the tabs and tools just how you like. Now, if we could get the floated toolbars back we would be returned to the Bibble 5 capability. Then give us back the ability to set up multiple custom floated tool panels--like we had in Bibble 4. I could then stop whinging about it.

This behaviour is very annoying. Bibble 5 was better in this case and hope it'll be fixed the newest ASP update.
