I'd like to suggest allowing a dual screen workspace, whereby we can take the top 15 or 20 tools on one screen, and have them arranged and expanded, easy to see and adjust. The other screen would be the large image, and possibly (probably) the film strip. For me, it's cumbersome to go through a batch of photos and need to jump back and forth between tabs and expand multiple tools. I'd prefer my laptop screen to just be filled with tools (similar to how DaVinci Resolve has the timeline and tools on one screen, and your viewers on the other(s)). For those using an iPad as a second/third monitor, this would be even more handy. I know you can make the viewer and filmstrip smaller currently, but that just gets you more horizontal real estate for your tools, not another 2 columns of tools, like I'm talking about. And yes, one could create and arrange a bunch of floating tools, but something tells me that opening and closing the program would lead to those getting shuffled.
Here's my rough example:
What problem do you see this solving?
This would allow users to see all of their most used tools, laid out how they like, without having to navigate tabs and collapse/expand dropdown views.
When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
Roughly 65% of all my C1 editing time.

Current workaround
Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One? Yes, I've customized my layout to put more of the same tools into the same panel, but of course, they get collapsed and need to be expanded. |
I see (facepalm). That actually made sense the way he wrote it. So yeah, that would be an option, but my setup is a MBP and a 27" monitor. I can see the bigger screen being able to host more uncollapsed tools, but I prefer running the Viewer and PS on the bigger screen. To me, my configuration is probably the most common out there - I bet more people have one monitor than work off their laptop or 2 monitors. So this seems like a way to improve the UI for a lot of people, but maybe I'm wrong. It's become my preferred layout, where I can still see improvements being made, but skipping around to the different tools is way faster. FWIW.
I think what Marcin means is rotating the monitor 90 degrees ('portrait' orientation) so that one column of tools has more height.
But your remark with Photoshop opening behind the floating tools indicate that you want to use the tool monitor for Photoshop, then you probably would want to keep the monitor in landscape orientation.
Hmm, not following you - can you post a screengrab?
I mean the entire screen, physically, instead of current horizontal orientation. The screen with tools on it. Just that.
I wonder if another workaround would be to put the "tool screen" vertically for a longer column.
(Where do you keep your Browser BTW?)
