FM 9 Workspace (x-posted to Framers and Free Framers)

[Jeff Coatsworth]

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
