😀 i hope infuszion is right, oddson! IF not, perhaps have a look at this thread [old link]

i´ve had a problem with some lost user folders from the toolbox, but the *.hom files have all been okay so i tried a quick system recovery and every thing was fine now. 🙂

😊 Perhaps I've suffered some sort of brain aneurysm...

Make sure you have developer mode... ...do you have SM in developer mode?

Is there a keyboard shortcut to toggle it? I can't figure how I managed this!

hey oddson, please, don´t take drugs man! is this really a serious question from you, the synthmaker guru?

oddson · 5 Jan 2010

No, I know where the button is, I was wondering how else I might have triggered it without meaning to...

I'm stupid, but I'm not that stupid!

I have accidently hit that button many times and it is not very easy to see it. Should maybe have a more visible color or such when engaged.

Even better left it in the setup-menu alone...

I think oddson needs a hug. 🙂

I've done this before also; that's how I answered oddson's question so quickly. 😀

IMHO, that button should be removed, & the zoom slider be moved to the prefs panel. I'd like to reclaim that dead & frustrating space.

Agree. Lots of dead space we could use much better.

😀 I've not be using S|M much lately and I'd guess it was a year or more since I accidentally went out of Dev Mode.

I would have figured it out if it wasn't for recalling the thread Philter5 mentioned so I convinced myself it's a glitch with the program reading toolbox folders.

I think the mode idea itself needs to be rethought. I don't think anyone works with developer mode off.

On the subject of dead space - how about making the toolbox autohide, so it only pops up when your mouse goes off the left edge of the screen, then disappears when you return to the main schematic window. When I'm browing the forum, I only use my little 12" netbook - can't see a damn thing when I download a schematic for a quick look!
