Toolbars functionality in Workspace like in TS6.6? About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011.

Toolbars functionality in Workspace like in TS6.6? // Archive: Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by Tiles // May 11, 2007, 11:54pm Tiles Total Posts: 1037 I am sure that this was mentioned in earlier posts when discussing TS7. It would be really useful when you could expand the whole toolbars in workspace like you can do in TS6.6. And when you could read a tooltip description in a status bar below when you are above a button. For me it is a pain at the moment to get used to the new menu when i need to search through the whole menu items one by one, waiting that the tooltip pops up if i am really above the right tool. I feel that this is a step back at the moment compared to the old toolbars.

There are much fewer icon in workspace than model side and Caligari returned the function for expanding the toolbars in the model side. There were no plans to do the same in workspace as far as I was aware. I will do a UI quickguide today if I get chance...should help a bit.

A UI Quickguide will surely help :) Post by mykyl1966 // May 12, 2007, 1:20pm mykyl1966 Total Posts: 221 Was looking for that myself. Gets fiddly playing hunt the icon rather than when in modeler I can just have them all expanded and ready to use.

If you try this, you'll find that the whole stack comes out - but if you open the 'stack' and use control - drag, they'll come out singly - then control-drag to attach them in-line. I know that's not real clear...but if you fool with it, you'll get it. Hope this helps, rf Post by spacekdet // May 12, 2007, 3:58pm spacekdet Total Posts: 1360 Yes, i agree, the 'status line' (the old "help Bar') is sorely missed in the workspace side of things. Tooltips just aren't the same and are slower. Remember when the help bar not only told you the name of the tool, it gave a little description of how to use it? Yeah, that was cool.
