Workspaces management faulty

The workspaces management options are very limited and needs improving.

 

When I choose to hide workspaces this works when using the workspace button top right, but the menu still shows all workspaces despite hiding them. Surely these two ways of looking at the same list should match?

 

Keyboard shortcuts appear to be assigned to the first 9 workspaces that appear in the list. If we want to use a keyboard shortcut for a custom workspace this needs to be named in a way that forces the required workspace to the correct place in the alphabetical list. if I make a workspace called 1_Jason, it will take over the first keyboard shortcut. This is odd. Why not allow the user to define all keyboard shortcuts, and to manage the workspaces as they see fit. I will never use the Assembly workspace, so would always delete it.

 

I would suggest coding all default somewhere hidden with a restore default workspaces option in the menu. But allow users to delete nd create workspaces as required, and asign what ever keyboard shortcuts they requre.

I've had nine custom workspaces for years. Premiere is far more flexible than say Resolve this way ... which I do appreciate.

 

The way it works is actually simple and easy.

 

Give a number prefix to your custom workspaces, and you don't need an underscore. Just something like " 4 Color" is all.

 

The workspaces appear in the dropdown list in the order you specify, and can be 'called' by keyboard shortcuts auto-assigned to the first nine workspaces.

 

Easy peasy.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
