hey,

In Photoshop 7 one could dock the file browser to the palette well, and with a 2 monitor set up that was ideal. In CS I can’t find a way to do this. Am I missing something?

Reset your screen resolution to 1024×768 and you’ll be able to dock the browser.

Hope this helps,

I don’t think the Browser is dockable in PSCS. It is always at the right end of the Options bar.

Why do you need it dockable? Just ensure save palette locations is on in prefs, maybe save your workspace too?

workspace is saved.
2 reasons, probably minor to a lot of people but I use photoshop like 6 hours a day at work

1. when i minimize on my 2 monitor setup (matrox p650) it "pushes" the file browser to the left underneath my layers palette. I believe Photoshop wants it to be in the left monitor when i maximize again. the file browser is the only window in all of Photoshop to behave this way. When I had it as a tab on my palette well, then of course I didn’t have the problem.

2. it takes up space. I’d rather have more other things accessible and have the filebrowser a click away.

i realize there is a hotkey to make it appear and disappear, but this is unsatisfactory to me as well. its not looking like there is a solution other than the hope that someone at adobe hears me.

Besides hotkey, there is also the icon on the options bar – a left or right click will show/hide it. Maybe an action that toggles file browser visibility then program minimise?

Only 6 hours? I did 12 yesterday excluding breaks 🙂

Well, if he’s anything like me, there’s the time spend in Painter, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver…. 😉
