Docking file manager in X-4

Post by hipshot13 »

In X2 I always kept my File manager (navagation and organizer) permanently docked on the right side of my PSP window (Shown below) so that photos croped to the working area of the screen were my desired print ratio. It appears that this cannot be done in PSP-X4?

Correct, with X4 they started experimenting with bizarre limitations on docking.

Only the Organizer and the Mixer Palette can dock to the bottom or tops of the screen. And to top it off they can only dock to the top or bottom of the screen.

Everything else can dock to the sides, but only to the sides.

Honestly I don't know what is going through their heads.

On these landscape monitors using the bottom space sure takes up working area. THAT thing at the bottom was the first to be turned OFF.
Its not easy to find the old style monitor these days so I have to agree as to the thinking process. A 27 inch wide monitor could handle that organizer bar on a side. Forget about it on a laptop.
