Hi guys, I have one screen and I have my set up so that I can flip between the track view and console view by hitting the d key, when on the console view I have it set up that by hitting the b key the bus pane expands and collapses, my problem is that if I have the bus panel enlarged to accommodate more busses in the ciew, when I hit b to collapse and then hit b to expand again the buss panel is smaller and I can't see some busses. Is there any way to overcome this. Thanks in advance,
Andrew

I have "B" set to its default (For the Browser dock) so I cant really experiment or try to replicate this.
However, you may find Screenset to do a better job at remembering Dock placement, the state of the Bus panel, exc.
 
Simply set it up as you normally do and save it as a Screenset. After your Screenset is finished, lock it
(using the SS drop down menu). Then use Screenset #2 for your other Bus state. again, lock that one as well.
 
This will allow you to still use the "D" shortcut to hide the dock, but it will also give you the expanded options with the state at which the Bus is in when locked in the SS.
 
If you haven't explored Screensets your really missing out on one of Sonars best features.

Cheers man yeah I love screen sets too. My only issue is how long it takes to switch... Thanks

Screenset switching is instant here.
 
They used to take a LONG time to switch but this behaviour changed as far back as X3 I think.

I'll try them out again. Cheers

I find screen switching still takes a little time, about 1-2 seconds so not a big deal.
 
 
 
 

ya screensets switch instantaneously here. not even a second. its the same as pressing D to hide the dock.

I find that screen sets take a few seconds to change as well.  Maybe it depends on how much is changing? You guys that are saying it switches quickly are you running SSDs?

yes sir I am. its possible that has something to do with it.

I rarely use the console view but I doubt the actual key bound to the function is significant. Any unused key combination could be set up and tested. My guess is the function performs the same action as toggling Buses in the Strips menu.
