Cannot find palette organizer

Post by cassieandme »

I use PSP X2 ultimate. I cannot find the palette mode organizer. I am having to use the document organizer which I do not like as well. I have tried the "View" tab and I have the organizer on and I have also switched to "Palette Organizer"
but the only one that works is the "Document Organizer" I tried the Palette tab in the upper right corner and have it detonated to organizer and that doesn't work either. Can anyone help me with this, or is my palette organizer gone?

To dock the Organizer to the bottom of the screen you'll need to enable docking for it by going to General Program Preferences > Palettes. Once you've checked that option, switch to Palette Mode in the Organizer, grab the title bar and drag it all the way to the bottom of the screen until it docks. Other than being able to dock the Organizer, there are really no major differences between the two modes. Here's the description from the Help file:
To choose a mode for the Organizer
1. Choose View Organizer Mode.
2. Choose one of the following options:

Document Mode — displays the Organizer in an image window that you can move and resize within the workspace. In this mode, the Organizer can hide behind other open image windows. When the Document Mode window is active, the menu system and toolbars are inactive.

Palette Mode — displays the Organizer as a palette, which can either float or be docked at the bottom of the main window.

Thank you offering to help me but I have done all that going to Preferences, then General program preferences. I chose palettes then I went through the process of checking the option for palette mode and there is no "palette mode" showing when I choose the palette mode only the "document mode" and when document is unchecked there is not any palette showing up, therefore there is no title bar to grab except of course the document one. The organizer mode is on in the top right side of psp, as well as in the "View" the "Palette mode" is on as well as the Organizer is checked for palette mode. But it doesn't show.
It's like it just went away.
