Docking handles.

Action wrote on 12/2/2008, 12:06 AM

Opening a new project in VMSP 9b I dragged the Video Preview, Mixer, etc into position but without the docking handles.

There's nothing in the help and I've tried everything but can't enable them, how is this done?

Also how do you delete a project from VMSP? THx.

When a window is not docked its handle is not shown - then you drag the window around by its tittle bar just like any other normal Windows window.

If you mean how to avoid VMSP starting up with the last project? then see Options/Preferences/General preferences "automatically open etc"

OR .. just get into the habit of FILE, SAVE, then FILE, CLOSE when you close down VMSP.

Thanks guys, problem solved. I'd started a new project in 9b, it opens with the timeline at the bottom and all the docking windows at the top of the main window and muggins here wanted them positioned at the bottom. In trying to drag them around I scrambled things and lost the docking handles on each window.

That puts the timeline at the top of the main window and each program window at the bottom with its docking handles so they can be repositioned and resized in relation to one another.

This is a new project with no vid clips yet. Thx again.
