Bringing project browser to the forefront

Post by Josh1910 » Fri Jul 29, 2016 12:08 pm

Very silly question, but is there a shortcut or way to bring the project browser to the front? If I'm working with many windows, any other aspect (tools palette, cards) can be found easily by hovering my mouse over the icon on my toolbar. Project browser only appears if I close it, then re-open. Is there some approach that's a bit more practical?

All LC gadgetry are stacks. So,

Code: Select all

go stack "revProjectBrowser"

Just as aside.

It is not always clear what the names of these tool stacks are. So check the results of the "openStacks" function.

I go to the Tools menu and un-check the Projects Browser then check the Projects Browser and it comes to the front. You could also try this:
on commandKeyDown pKey
lock screen ; lock recent ; lock messages
if (pKey = "1") then
set the height of stack "revIDEProjectBrowser" to 420
set the width of stack "revIDEProjectBrowser" to 430
set the left of stack "revIDEProjectBrowser" to 10
set the top of stack "revIDEProjectBrowser" to ((the top of stack "Choreographer" )+ 50)
set the visible of stack "revIDEProjectBrowser" to not the visible of stack "revIDEProjectBrowser"
else if (pKey = "2") then
edit the script of button "Players Dancing Play" of stack "Players"
// etc....
