So, the "secret sauce" might be: - first thing is you need to duplicate one of the presets you want to base your new module layout on. eg. If you want to use the "scene-referred" preset as your starting point, select "manage presets" from the preset menu next to the module group icons, and this will pop up a "manage module layouts" window. On the left, find the preset you want to copy, and click on the "copy" icon next to its name. Trying to edit a built-in preset is no bueno. You can also just create a new empty preset if you want to start from scratch. - on the right, towards the top, click on the "+" sign next to the heading "module groups". This will add a new module group on the far right (you may need to scroll over to the right to see the new group). - click on the icon to set a "star", and change the name to "favorites". Use the "<" next to the module group name to move it over to the left if you want. - add whatever modules you like to the new group by clicking on the "+" sign below the new module group, and you'll get a complete list of all modules that can be added.
You now have a "favorites" module group. But I would question why you would really want to do this. Just put your favorite modules under the other groups, so that they are sorted into some sensible logical order. Favorites was only interesting what the module groups were fixed and couldn't be edited, it was a way to add modules to the interface without having to go search for them. I think this new feature might be a good topic for one of Bruce's videos :-) On Mon, 26 Oct 2020 at 14:15, David Vincent-Jones <[email protected]> wrote: > There is no apparent method to move modules from one column to another. > Yes, I can rename a column as 'Favs', but the modules in the column are > very limited.
