Question

Is there a way to save arrangements within panels per-person?

I like to keep my Styles panels' content organized differently than some other people also working on the ID file.

However, the content of the panels (e.g. Styles sorted alphabetically) remain in the order that the last person using them left them in.

 

Is there a way to return a panel to a previous state?

Do you mean the panel position on your screen or the content order of each panel?

The content of the panels. So, for example:

• I have my Paragraph Styles panel arranged by recent use.
• Someone else, at their location, works on the document & sorts the Paragraph Styles panel alphabetically.
• When I open the document again, I'd like my own Paragraph Styles panel to remain arranged in the "recent use" order I last used it.

 

Thanks. Original post updated for clarity.

I'm pretty sure this can't be done — there's no inherent ID setting or feature for it, it's sort of contrary to the model of how styles are managed and I'd be very surprised if there's a hook that a script could use to store and re/store the style lists.

 

But it's a good concept.
