Window Layouts dialog
Window Layouts dialog
SONAR stores the layout of all of a project’s views in the project file when
you save the project. By default, SONAR restores the layout of all the views
when you open the file.
In addition, you can save the current layout in a separate list--the global
layout list. Once you have saved the layout in this list, you can apply it to
any open project. The global layout list can contain as many layouts as you
want. Layouts in the list can be updated, renamed, and deleted.
The Views-Layouts command opens the Window Layouts dialog box. Use
the following fields to control your layouts:
Global window
This large window lists all your saved layouts.
Close Old Windows Before Loading New Ones
If you check this option, SONAR closes all the views of the current project
before applying the layout. If you leave this option unchecked, existing
views remain open, and additional views appear according to the settings in
the layout.
Per-Song-File—When Opening a File, Load its Layout
In addition to global layouts, SONAR stores each project’s layout. If you
check the When Opening a File, Load its Layout option, SONAR arranges
the project’s views according to the stored layout when the project file
opens. If you don’t check this option, only the Track view (and File Info
view, if applicable) appear when the project file opens.
