Does anyone have any idea of how I can disable the multidocking function completely when i don't want it?... I spend too much editing time closing or undocking things as I move them around my desktop ... it's really becoming very annoying ... further to that, when i double clik on tracks to edit, the multidock pops  open with the loop function pre loaded ... when I want things I'll SELECT THEM! until i do, i don't want things automatically happening ... GRRRRRRRR !

afaia you can't?

Thanks for the reply ... Your kidding me?  They better come up with an option to turn this on and off or I'm done with Sonar for good.. it's a complete time waster as far as im concerned ... don't give me options that I can't select or deselect...you don't know what i want or when... so stop trying to tell me what options i need... dickhead programmers!

If you take 2 minutes to explain what it is you are trying to do within Sonar there's probably a way of doing that which may or may not involve the multidock.....

D and/or SHIFT D...

I do it like this:

I open something I don't need at the moment, say the piano roll, and undock it using the double-window icon on the right of the multidock. The multidock now disappears (Strangely, draggîng the tab off the multidock does not work).

I then reduce the piano roll and I now have a bit more usable height for the track view.

But don't close the piano roll because the multidock comes back.

Not working here.

Not working here.

There was a hint of sarcasm in my reply... D for D*ckhead.

On a non-sarcastic note, D and SHIFT D will help you manage the state of the active dock by either, minimizing, restoring or maximizing it.

G.E.L.

Well,  i feel your pain,  but keep in mind the whole idea behind the Multidock thing is so you don't have to spend anytime moving things around on your desktop.  Just hit a key and boom...you are there.  Same with screensets. I believe Fastbikerboy has help video(s) on this.
 
Double clicking on a track should not cause the multidock and/or loop function to open.  You might have the Multidock  pulled too large or something strange.  Play with your setup then save to a screenset.  You might need to spend sometime with the manual or some tutorial.   Once you get this figured, chances are you will  be very happy with the new workflow.    
 
 

I have mine configured with Sonar Plus totally hiding the dock...

I have the PRV set to open in it's old-style mode (I forget the letters, but it's something like MSI)

I also setup the CV so that it's as large as my screen...

I had to remove each from the dock and then adjust it's settings, then hide the dock with plus...

It stays that way now...
