Currently when clicking on X in a tab, the document hides and keeps on running in the background. Please let it actually close, that is super confusing…
I can see that this won’t work for node definitions, as they are part of a document, but could these hide and documents actually close? Maybe tabs of documents and definitions could have a slightly different shade of gray to indicate that they have different behavious on close?
I can imagine the face of your students exploring the help patches XD
Exactly…
I wonder if it would be nice to see all the open files somewhere. For the help patches, you can see which ones are bold and have the x next to them, but otherwise you only really know what files are still open when closing vvvv altogether and it asks you if you want to save them.
I just checked and the Applications menu in the quad (and All Documents below it) seems like the only place to see open documents.
Could they gain a way to close them there?
Or maybe give each document it’s own dedicated menu up top? That would remain there for each open document and then you can close a document from there. Then you could even have it where each document has its own set of tabs below.
I imagine teaching this to newcomers must be quite confusing for them.
