To create a complete “image” of your working space, set up all windows listed on page 655, including settings and appearance, and save this as a Window Set with the option “All Windows Including Settings” activated.
If you like, set up different Sets in the same way, each one with different combinations of open windows. For example, create one with the Arrange window “on top”, but with the Inspector closed, one with the Arrange window on top but the Inspector open, yet one with a certain editor active etc.
1. Make the first window active.
This could for example be the Arrange window.
2. Store a Window Set with the option “Top Window Only” activated and “Include settings” turned off.
4. Proceed like this for all windows.
Now when you select these Window Sets, the window specified in this Set is opened if it is closed and made active (put “on top”) if it isn’t.
This type of Window Set is an ideal candidate for key commands. By setting up shortcuts for each Window Set, you can switch between, re-size and position windows very conveniently.
By saving several Window Sets, all for the same window (Top Window Only activated and with the “Save Settings” option active), you can switch between several appearances for the same window. An example candidate for this is the Controller Editor, where you can use Window Sets for determining what type of information is displayed. Each Window Set can have a different selection of data types visible.
