Good Morning gang -- I have two primary concerns with floating windows
But first, again let me applaud the fact that they support dual monitors in a wonderful way -- I can fill two monitors on my desktop just fine and that let's me expand my Logos desktop to really see a lot of material and have it all linked together. Much better than having to launch multiple iterations of L3 (which works wonderfully well, but which means the two iterations have to work independently). L4 is a great step in the right direction.
Alas, with floating windows, and I mentioned this somewhere (or maybe I just dreamt it) that once I have a floating window, I can't find a way to shut it off -- that is, how do I anchor it again (short of closing it and starting over)?
Another problem with floating windows (with a single monitor system) is that having a floating window on top -- the window disappears when I click on the toolbar, so I can't drag anything to that floating window and really can't use the tool bar and the floating window simultaneously. It works fine when I part the floating window on the second monitor of my desktop, but with my laptop and a single display, it's more trouble than it's worth.
I wanted to open a window on the right side of my screen this morning. but the default placement of the first window to open seems to be on the left side of my display. So, since I can't seem to float the window, move it to the right and anchor it again, I need to move or drag the window on the left side to the right side. However, it the L4, there's no standard Windows minimize, maximize feature that I've found, only an X to close the window. Therefore, what I've had to resort to is to open a window I don't want (pick a window, any window, e.g. The ABD) which then opens on the left. Now, go to the window I want to open (e.g., Collections) and wait for it to come up on the right side of the screen. Then got back and close the window I didn't want to begin with.
For a system that's supposed to be easier, and more intuitive, this is such a cludge method that it's an embarrassment (IMHO).
Now, if I've missed how to do these things (anchor a floating window, move a window from left to right) then just let me know and I'll give that a try. But right now, it's frustrating knowing I can't get there from here.
