williamk Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Question: In Acc 8, when I was working in a Search window and wanted to open a dictionary or other module, the module would always open in a new Tab and Window, giving me the full width of the new window in which to navigate the new tool (dictionary, whatever). In Acc 9, when I do the same thing, the new module opens in a new vertical pane. It grabs half the horizontal width of the original Search window, scrunching my biblical text up into a narrow column, and puts the dictionary in a narrow vertical column. How do I set a default to cause new tools to open in new Tabs/Windows instead of in a new vertical pane in the original Search window? (If this is a dumb question it's because I'm not an Acc power user and haven't taken time to read the "New Feature" materials in depth -- sorry.)

Joel Brown Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 This is the one of the new features in Accordance 9, zones, that enable you to break up your workspace in to a variety of zones, each holding different content. If you'd rather not use zones, just go to General -> Preferences and set the Maximum Number of zones to 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Is it now impossible to create tabs in workspaces if Zones are set to unlimited (my current setting)? I really like the zones features, but like a number of users have expressed recently, sometimes, I want to have content that would automatically go into a zone, go into a tab of its own within the same workspace instead. Even if there a right click command to make the zone a separate tab within the same workspace, that would be useful. And I've also noticed that if I separate a zone into its own workspace, there's no way to get it back into another workspace already open. I think this kind of back and forth ability would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 You can move a zone back into any other workspace or zone (except details) by dragging the zone title. If it's the only tab and x=zone in the workspace, it will close that workspace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circuitrider Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I did not like how Accordance 9 was forcing my Dictionary to open in a zone of its own or into an existing tool zone. I like to see the dictionary or commentary in a larger window. What I am doing to get the view that I want is one of two things. 1) If I want to amplify from a word or verse number, I select the word or verse and then select my desired resource by right-clicking and selecting it from my favorites. I of course had to set that resource as favorite first. This option will take you to the word (in a dictionary) or verse (in a commentary) you selected in your resource. 2) Or if I just want to open a particular commentary or dictionary I go through the resource palette and ⌘-Click on the desired resource. Both of the above options opens the resource in a new workspace window. After I am done using the resource I can close it or drag it into any of my zones and add it as a tab. These are both quick ways to get a larger view of a tool and get it placed into the zone you desire. Hope I didn't misunderstand your question and that this helps!
