Hide the window

[sifrec]

When I display a window such as Asset Manager, I feel uncomfortable that the Asset Manager is not hidden in the background even if I select the main screen. Is there any way to improve this discomfort?

Close it?

I’m sorry, I don’t understand the meaning

With the asset manager selected, press the little red circle on the top left of the asset manager window.

I understand, I’ll try tomorrow, thank you.

Red circle ?, does it mean “close window circle” ?, of course I know , it doesn’t mean that it’s annoying because the window doesn’t hide in the background when you select something other than Asset Manager like in the video I think, I haven’t seen any other app like that, the Asset Manager

is in the foreground when I select the edit window in “Blocs” and it is in the foreground when I select the browser, usually I should move it to the background Would.

The asset manager doesn’t automatically disappear because you may be switching between components and wish to use it.

If you had a larger screen it most likely not be in the way and you would be very happy that it remains in place, so it’s a minor inconvenience in your case that it doesn’t just close.

I think the behaviour that you want would probably be irritating to other people who like the current workflow, but you have a valid point.

I have some sympathy with your suggestion because sometimes you can change an asset without realising there’s still an association with a component and it’s easy to forget about it and play with the assets while accidentally changing the image used in a component.

I currently have a 27-inch display, but “Blocs” itself occupies a lot of space when displaying PC size, and I often want small windows to be hidden in the background, which is very useful. Hateful…

I think in terms of irritations, there are worse things to be concerned about.
You have a 27" screen and I use a 14" laptop…

[sifrec]

I think it’s even harder

[sifrec]

I think your English is translated fairly accurately, thank you.

I got 2x a 27" inch screen. However, that little red circle on the top left remains one of my best friends.

I wish cmd-w would close those windows (class manager, assets etc) when they‘re active, like it does in most other Mac Apps. Instead it closes the Blocs window nonetheless.

I also wonder why Blocs doesn’t use the „native“ bar with the 3 dots. That still irritates me. Moom does not work with Blocs due to that. Maybe @Norm can elaborate on that

But thats whining on a high level. After all, it gets the tasks at hand done very nicely.

16“ here. I know the pain

[pauland]

I used to have a 15" MPB and really wondered if the 14" would be viable. I’m really happy with it. I also have a 28" 4K monitor but I hardly ever use it.

I know I’m harping back to years gone by but I miss the ability to snap Finder windows to the bottom of the screen as you could in OS9 – all you could see was the “knicker elastic” title bar. I worked in a job where we had to transfer flat files between servers and it was great for that. I park asset manager et al at the bottom of the screen so I know where they are.

Nostalgic OS9 !!, I’ve been using “Macintosh” from “KanjiTalk”, of course MacOS has expanded its functions, but the old OS was much more friendly and enjoyable to people, “grouch” I want you to make it work, that playfulness is important, this also feels like “blocs”, I want you to make more use of the excellent “GUI” of “Macintosh” and “Mac Like”, the character of “No coding” So I bought it, I want more “GUI” to be incorporated into the interface itself, not just “code”
