Why does the Firework main window always hide on MacOS?
I open Firework and then click on an App. The App opens but the Firework window hides itself. I need to open another App so I first have to reopen Firework... this is inconvenient. Am I doing something wrong?
Answer
Hi Treken!
This behavior is how it was intended. Firework is just a small panel for quick launch, in most cases a user needs to hide it after the launching. The meaning is very similar to Windows "Start" button. Sometimes users ask to leave Firework open. We think to create a pin button for this. But there were very few such requests.
You can use [Alt] + [~] hotkeys to fast open Firework main window. I hope it will help you.
Hi Alexey
Thankyou for the prompt answer.
I am using MacOS so behaviour akin to a 'Windows Start Button' is not really a good thing :P
Perhaps this behaviour could be an option. I would like to
- open firework
- launch 5 apps in succession to get my environment loaded
- close / hide the firework window until needed again
If the "Auto hide firework app window" was a boolean option defaulting to its present behaviour it would be great for users like myself and very simple to implement.
In the meantime, I will use the [Alt] + [~] or on Mac [Opt] + [~] to unhide the Firework window.
Great App by the way, I am new but have come over from Fluid
kind regards
