I think this may have been asked before but would like to confirm it...
I have a main DOpus window with lots of toolbars. But sometimes I want to work with a series of very small windows with no toolbars, no status bars... well, maybe a very small and concise toolbar (<5 buttons).
Is there a way I can do this without manually turning off all of the toolbars in a new lister and resizing the window? And then repeating the process by reactivating them when I'm ready to start using a more fully functional lister?
I've tried layouts and styles but can't seem to get a working solution.
You can make a button or hotkey which removes all the toolbars but, if things still work the way I think they do, this would also affect all other listers.
You can add a toolbar to just one lister without affecting others, but you can't remove one of the "global" toolbars from just one lister so you'd have to remove it from all of them.
Seems a reasonable thing to ask GPSoft to add, though.
That's almost funny. I'm working on a very similar project for a button/hotkey. Since I'm changing styles and toolbars frequently, I'm working on a way to "reset" the display. A means of turning all the toolbars off, change the lister display style, folder tree settings, and placement, closing all open listers, and revert back to a single saved lister layout with specific toolbars and list views. Here's the thing though, I'm trying to work out a way to save the state of the listers [placement, size, list type, toolbars, and view states] to toggle with the "reset" option. I'm not having the best of luck.
If only DOpus had a command that could accomplish something like the pseudocommand: Go Refresh (x,y,w,h)
In other words, this imaginary command refreshes as well as resizes and repositions the lister.
Local or less likely, global Toolbars could be toggled in the same button.
The status bar could also be controlled locally, but is unfortunately limited to only one possible status bar configuration.
I like nate_dawg's idea.
I gives power to the 'observer' lister.
The idea is worth some consideration in my humble opinion.
