In my software experience, FM9 is fraught with the most unexpected behavior. -Original Message- From: Jeff Coatsworth [mailto:jeff.coatswo...@jonassoftware.com] Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 2:13 PM To: Kelly McDaniel; framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: FM 9 Workspace (x-posted to Framers and Free Framers) Hmm, I've got 2 workspaces created (home, office) that were variations of the Authoring one that they ship. If I move stuff around on them and save them again overtop of themselves, it sticks for me from launch to launch. Now - my desktops aren't too complicated I don't keep books open because they take up too much space, so I haven't tested what Tammy was saying so others' results may vary. -Original Message- From: Kelly McDaniel [mailto:kmcdan...@pavtech.com] Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 3:09 PM To: Jeff Coatsworth Subject: RE: FM 9 Workspace (x-posted to Framers and Free Framers) Yes, of course. I open in the same workspace each time...the one I set-up when I loaded FM9. It would be easier to think of the things that do stick: The only element of the UI that sticks is the book hierarchical view frame. -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Jeff Coatsworth Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 11:48 AM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: FM 9 Workspace (x-posted to Framers and Free Framers) And, other than Tammy's book width issue, you've saved your configuration off into a named workspace, right? Are you finding any other things that don't stick where you want them to? -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Kelly McDaniel Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 12:17 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: FM 9 Workspace (x-posted to Framers and Free Framers) I am filled with regret at having purchased TCS w/FM9. I evaluated the MadCap tools a few times and it got down to the devil you know. One of the serious advantages of having a user-configurable workspace is that consistent use enhances your workflow. I knew I would face workflow changes on the switch to FM9 and accounted for the time required. I was unaware, though, that the workspace in FM9 would not hold a configuration from launch to launch. Each time I launch FM9, I must perform some workspace reconfiguration to put the workspace back like it was the most recent time FM9 was open; the way I like it; the way it has been incorporated into my workflow; the way it saves me time. Using FM9, just using FM9!, has become a task that I must take into account when I size my work...Kelly. -Original Message- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Mike Wickham Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 11:04 AM To: Spectrum Writing; framers@lists.frameusers.com; Free Framers Subject: Re: FM 9 Workspace (x-posted to Framers and Free Framers) Is there a way to keep the book file squished down to the width that I want when I open my workspace? Not that I've found. I don't know if it's a bug, but I'd call it a design flaw. I wish I could reclaim that extra little bit of space. It makes the difference between being able to display at a two-page spread at full screen height or not for me.
