Palettes and tools : collapse all / collapse to one level / collapse inactive

[Egregius ([Greg] (Micro 4/3 + Win11))]

To support what Mark is saying, and for more info from DxO, I’d like to suggest reading the following feature request topics:

Option to "Auto collapse" the correction tools in the palettes

It would be nice and handy to have an option for auto-collapsing the adjusted correction tool once a new correction tool is activated (or selected). I am using a laptop and space is quite limited. It is a long scroll to navigate back and forth and not easy to find things when several tools and palettes are opened. Of course, I could collapse a tool by clicking on it but the less I have to click, the better !

Solo mode in PhotoLab

I have used DxO since OP9 (now I’m on PL2). What I find missing in the user interface is an equivalent of the solo mode of Lightroom (it can also be found in darktable and RawTherapee). It works this way: you click a given tool/module and all the other open tools are collapsed automatically, which saves you one click every time you want to change the tool. Shift-clicking another tool could allow to keep two or more tools open at the same time. It would probably work best if the solo mode could…

Solomodus Workflow

In Lightroom there is a modus called solomodus. For example: Click on Details expands the Details Toolset. Click on HSL expands HSL toolset and reduces Details. So you haven’t to scroll up and down within your Toolset. Solomodus for DXO please It’s only a little step for software developer but big step for my workflow:joy:

And for sharing layout ideas while we wait for a “solo mode” and related collapse functions:

Sharing PhotoLab Workspace layouts ... with potential to learn from others

I reckon it might be helpful to see how other users have arranged their PhotoLab Workspaces. To kick this off … here’s my custom-workspace (with test image). [DxO_Workspace] Click to enlarge. Note: “JCM” are simply my initials. Regards, John M
