Marcello Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Hi Guys! Every time I open and expand a new plugin in Cakewalk the others go away. How can I keep them open at the same time? I need it for visualization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Read the section called Recycle Plug-In Windows on this page http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=0x22B07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Kelley Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 You can click on the push pin on the top right of any plugin you want to keep open or turn off recycling the windows per scook's link. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy86 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Unless, in my experience, they’re on a second monitor, where they disappear behind, in my case, the console I have open there, when I open a second plug-in. If you don’t reopen them once they duck behind, they’ll keep piling up out of sight. They will all stay open if they’re all on the one monitor. This has been discussed on the board, but if there’s a fix, I’m unaware of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave the views in the multidock and dock the multidock. The views may be resized, even maximized and the plug-ins will float on top of the views.

Jimbo 88 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Man, I've been working on this dang software for almost 30 years non-stop and it never ceases to amaze me what I learn when I show up here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: "This only happens if one chooses to float views while using one monitor." Confused. I'm floating plugins on two monitors at the same time, not one. This is when the plugs on the second monitor duck behind the multidock I have open there with the Console View. "Leave the views in the multidock and dock the multidock." But, if I understand, you can then only have one thing opened in the multidock at a time. So, if I click on a docked plugin's tab, the Console disappears, until I click back to the Console tab? "The views may be resized, even maximized and the plug-ins will float on top of the views. Could you please explain what you mean by "views"? The clickable views tabbed in the multidock? Thanks.

scook Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I misread the post. Floating views regardless of the number of monitors have similar window management issues. Even when I ran multiple monitors, only the video view ran on a second monitor. It is much easier for me to manage everything else on one monitor. Of course, individual preferences vary. Some like to spread stuff around. Some like to keep a lot of stuff open. Some find the console view useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy86 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Gotcha. And, for sure, everybody has their own way of working... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I used to fall under the “ gotta have two monitors” camp because how else could I have the console and PVR views full screen? Making the tutorials I had to stick with one monitor and that forced me to learn the easy shortcuts that allow the multi dock to quickly go full screen and back to its tabs.
