Garry,
Good point: I did, until I finally got a second monitor a few months ago...
After hooking it up, my automatic behavior (closing/opening properties and
view window) persisted for days ;)
One thing to keep in mind: when saving projects intended for sharing I
shouldn't save the GUI with it, to prevent messing up the configuration of
single-monitor users.
V6 will have the most important properties in the toolbar, that will relieve
this problem a bit.
Every click is one too many...

Hi Mark :
There really is no simple solution for the 'Properties Window' ,
but there is for the 'View Properties Window' . Yes , I read about
that lower toolbar usage being improved in V6 . That will help some
things a little .
Really what we need in my opinion , is a "Master Tab" for the
current 'Select Window' that would switch it to 'View Properties' .
We don't need to look at the list of 'Available Objects' when
we are adjusting our View Properties , so a click on a large
Tab there could switch that whole Select Window to 'View Propert-
ies' instead .
Then , simply switch back to 'Available Objects' and we have
one less window to fight with . Something similiar could be done
with the 'Properties Window', but the problem there is that we need
to see and be able to select objects first , then adjust their
Properties .
Thanks for your reply , Mark . Good luck with your Volumetric
experiments . The images so far have looked very interesting .

Do You :
... find yourself constantly pushing the 'View Property Win-
dow' out of the way , or always minimizing it ? Then double
clicking on an object in the 'Select Window' , making modif-
ications in that objects multi-tabbed 'Property Window' and
then pushing/minimizing that Property Window out of the way ,
then searching for what you did with the view property win-
dow again , then making more changes to certain objects ?
