    Modules UI

    by lampenfieber » Sun Aug 31, 2008 6:15 pm

    Hy,
    I'm using a lot of different modules during my performance. To spare some extra clicks, I minimize my modules over the - symbol and arrange them before the show. Whenever I need a module I max the specific one and minimize it afterwards. So I don't get a mess on my desktop.

    It looks like this:

    As I'm lazy, I don't like to rearrange the modules every time I start modul8. But modul8 doesn't save the positions and the state of the module windows.
    Is there anything I can do about it?

    If you access the 'window' menu and select 1 of the 8 workspaces it should save the positions of the module windows.

    While being in Modul8 it does, but after a restart, it is messed up again.

    It looked so neat idea. I have had always frustration to find modules hidden behind the others. But after you restart M8 it is all a mess again. What state of the layout it remembers, because it seems to remember something.

    It mainly works but it messes up when you do one of the following:
    -select new project from the menu
    -modul8 crashes
    -you configured the layout on single screen output and now you have 2
    -or configured the layout on double screen output and now you have 2 but different to the one used while doing the layout.

    In any case it only tends to mess up whichever configuration you had opened at the time.

    I found out that after saving a project your settings will be the same the next time. but this also means every project has its own settings. So you have to save every project after using (while using...) just press apple-S a lot :p i guess...
