5 – 56 Basic methods
Windows sets, snapshots and Wave view settings
In addition to the above, there are other ways to manage windows:
• Snapshots store individual settings for one Wave window at a time, which allows
you to quickly move between various views of a file. See “Snapshots” on page 87.
• Screen layouts store document window and dialog box positions and sizes. See
“Working with window layouts” on page 744.
• View settings can be automatically stored (Preference setting) when saving wave
audio files. This will store all view settings for an individual Wave window; i.e. win-
dow size & placement, time ruler style, scroll positions, selection ranges, snap-
shots and a master section preset. See “Saving view settings” on page 124.
Dockable control bars
Various tools, shortcuts and commands are gathered on “control bars”
(strips with symbols). These can be used either as “palettes” (separate
windows) or you can “dock” them to the window edges.
The following control bars are available:
• The Standard Commands
• The Transport bar
• The Meters
• The Window Controller
• The Wave toolbox
• The Wave Snapshots control bar
• The Marker toolbar
Docking a control bar
There are two ways to dock a control bar:
• Drag the control bar window (by its title bar) to any of the sides of the application
window and release the mouse button.
The outline shows you the shape of the control bar at the docked position.
• Double click the title bar of a control bar to return it to its last docked position.
Please note that you can stack control bars and put them side by side, to
create any type of layout you desire.
In this example, the Standard Commands, Toolbox and Transport control bars have all
been docked to the upper part of the application window.
