Collapse Iconic Panels not working yet?

Apr 14, 2012 7:26 PM

I checked this in prefs and my panels are not collapsing.

Is this happening to anyone else?

    Are you referring to the panels on the right? Unlike in CS5, in order to collapse a panel, you must double-click on the panel's tab (title), rather than beside it.

     

    Edit: Nevermind the above. I see what you're asking now. It seems to be working fine for me. Have you tried clearing your preferences? http://forums.adobe.com/message/4209421#4209421

    No, I'm talking about Panels you invoke when you click on a Panel Icon.

    To the left of the right panels (Layers, etc.) there's another bay for more panels, these are usually reduced to mere icons so that don't take up a lot of room.

    In Prefs, there a Auto-collapse Iconic Panels checkbox. When used this is supposed to make those panels collapse as soon as you click away from them.

    That feature isn't working for me right now.

    Seems to me there's an "Auto Collapse Iconic Panels" preference somewhere.  See if you can find that.  My Photoshop is in the middle of a 20 minute long deconvolution (via a plug-in) right now, so I can't check.

    I did find it, and checked it. Not working.

    Sorry, I didn't read your original post carefully enough.

    Works fine for me too - with auto-collapse checked in preferences.

    John, what is different than a default install on your machine. Are you on Mac or Pc? Could you post a screenshot of your panels? Is there a panel in particular that causes your issue?

    Actually it's working now.

    I'm beginning to wonder if I 'mis-clicked'.

    False alarm.
