I was wondering if there was going to be a fix out soon for the docking controls in xmlArchitect. I like to customize my feel but the docking controls allow me botched customization by resizing forms and doubling up on side docking. I know that it is purely a cosmetic issue, but people gotta work in an environment they like.

Very true, in an effort to have the application "remember" which forms were docked where, and their relative sizes, some minor quirks have surfaced. The biggest is when you have two forms docked on the same side. Everything is fine while the app is open, but once you close/reopen the app, the forms don't properly dock on top of each other, but rather to the side of each other.
For example, we have here the Tree and the Properties both docked on the left of the editor, each sitting nicely on top of each other.  But after closing xmlArchitect and reopening, it appears to have lost the Properties dialog:  On closer inspection, the Properties dialog is not lost, it was just positioned to the right of the Tree form, rather than underneath it:  Enlargening the side reveals the Properties dialog and can then be redocked to the desired position:  This problem happens whenever there are two windows docked on the same side. While we are fixing this docking phenomenon, the current work-around is to not have two windows docked to the same side :P -BKN |
