Heinz Hupfer Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 HI:) Problems with the docked Browser: On every loading of a project the docked Browser has the divider line far to the left. I drop it to the right to see more of the drives and folders, save the workspace, Screensets are not blocked so it should be saved automatically. On next startup and project load the divider line in the docked Browser is again to the left. So, how can I save the position of this divider? It's a bit nervy to drag this line on every startup... I f I can remember correctly I had this problem years ago in CbB. Thanks;) Bassman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol_Jonesey Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 1 - Make sure Workspaces is set to None, or save the current one when you're happy with it 2 - Make sure the current Screenset isn't locked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinz Hupfer Posted August 27 Author Share Posted August 27 (edited) Hi:) @Bristol_Jonesey Nope, sorry, Screensets are not locked and Workspace None doesn't work and saving a new one doesn't work either. On loading the saved Project this divider in the Media Browser is far left, not how I saved it! Perhaps it has to do with special User Rights on some folders and it it is not saved correctly? P.S. If you look into the Work Space Manager, Media Broser is not in the Views List. It's also not sqaved in a screenset, if I switch screensets, the look of the media browser will be reset! Could you please confirm? Bassman. Edited August 28 by Heinz Hupfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol_Jonesey Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Yes the Browser doesn't appear to expose itself to Workspaces. If you switch Screensets, say from 1 to 2, hitting the relevant number on your qwerty keyboard will load up the saved version. Apart from that there's not a lot I can suggest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinz Hupfer Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 HI:) @Bristol_Jonesey If I switch to another Screenset and switch back to the first, Browser window is reset, the divider line is back to far left:( Is it just me or the same on your machine? Thanks;) Bassman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurre Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I don't get this topic? My browser have no divider line on any tab? Only divider is at the bottom against the help window. It would be nice with a picture to see what this is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinz Hupfer Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 (edited) HI:) OK! I deinstalled all Cakewalk Software, X1,X2,X3, Platinum, Bandlab... Fresh Install of Sonar! The result you can see here: Why?? There must be any reason! Bassman. Edited August 28 by Heinz Hupfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurre Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Ok, i get it now. Multidock. I'm perfectly happy with the Default browser placement to the right. However as shown my divider is better placed. I can shift between top right and multidock without the divider moving to another place. Both screensets and workspaces (none) is at their default. I don't have any suggestion right now for a cure of your problem, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) The OP's issue confirmed here. Issue is with the Folders column. When switching to another screenset and back again, the Folders column reverts to a 1/2 closed position without warrant. This happen inside and outside Multidock. I can switch it from Right side to Multidock without issue, but switching back to Right side the Folders column closes completely and has to be reselected. Browser has a long standing issue not displaying properly. Getting it to behave has been a struggle so I don't even bother with it. Floating the Browser opens another can of worms. In SONAR/CbB Folders column has to be reselected each time the screenset is changed back or project is closed and reopened like it's intended to only be temporary no matter where it is. You can submit a Browser bug report: Media > Folders and Media > Show all Files and Folders does not persist when selected and the view is changed. The PRV Track View is another one that does not stay where you put it when reopening a project. Edited August 29 by sjoens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promidi Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Open Project. Set CbB windows how you like them. Lock screenset. Save project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinz Hupfer Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 HI:) @Promidi Doesn't matter if you lock it or not, the mixer does what you want and stays in the right position: (I am wondering why it works for Bristol....??) Bassman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Browser position isn't the issue. SONAR/CbB/Sonar is not allowing the Browser to maintain the Browser > Menu > Folder view option position when saving the project or changing screenset views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 @Heinz Hupfer the easiest way to keep them for new projects is to. 1. Open an empty project. 2. Set Workspaces to none. 3. You will need to insert one track. 4. Arrange all your windows how you want them. 5. Now save this a a template. 6. In the start screen make this your default template. 7. Start all new projects with this template. You can make other templates but always start with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been reportedly was an issue in SONAR Platinum, seems a low priority bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinz Hupfer Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 Hi:) @Wookiee I've sent a bug report, but if it's really a longtime bug, there will be no chance to get it solved... I have this kind of work seldom but to drag and import hundreds of small projects into a new Template is frustating when the browser on every template load resets:( When this work has finished it doesn't mind anymore😁 Bassman.
