Mulab is a very nice swiss-knife for music.

We can dock and undock frames what is nice.
But there are some problems to solve to make it better

For my point of view all frames should work same way, and it would be nice to save different layouts for different tasks. (Saving in layout: Position of frames , size of frame and colors of frames, shortcuts, maybe more config option in futur)

I believed first it was all configs were saved with tremplate or keept in session or projet.
As i see Template are just standard projects.

Floating frame seem not be saved only last frame location ( compose, edit or mudular )when project is stored.



Layouts saving Improvement could be usefull for all who are using mutiple monitore or want using different layouts or want optimising mulab for diffrent tasks.
Sometime working one monitore because other application running on second monitor and to be able to switch to full double monitor , shoosing only the right layout without having to tweak with configurationg all the time.

We can change lot of thing on different location in mulab.
And that is the major problem. There is a difference of behaviour for all frames.
Behaviour should be same for all frames.

Here actual state of behaviour of main frames. Maybe i have not found all locations to ajust behaviour.

There is not a button in top bar for all frames to dock and float frames.

a) Composer no dock / no float
b) Editor float ok / no switch back from floating
c) Modular float ok / switch back rom floating ok
d)Mixing deck (no docking/float on button) but menu is on lower bar of the frame
e)Browser (no docking/float on button) but option button in Browser frame
f) Window bar (no button no docking/float on button) could be usefull as floating frame when using difffrent floating frame and when child frame are coverd by main frames.


Window bar has an other problem. If you close the bar by error you have to reopen the bar with "edit preference" menu. (Button on top bar should be added.)


What about a button on frame boarder of frames (a-f) to switch dock/float ?

And option should be added to keep child frame on top when using floating frames because child frames are covered by main floating frames..
Maybe a floating "window bar" with higher priority (this frame at top position option) could solved the problem with covered child frames.



If you have other improvement ideas add them.

Maybe dev is making some change if lot other agree with some of my ideas.
