The Reaper Users Guide (v5.979c) says you can create up to 16 dockers (p. 222), and that to create a new docker you drag and drop any tab from an existing docker into the arrange view area (p. 223).
I currently have 5 dockers (one docked at the bottom of the main window, the "floating toolbar docker", and 3 other floating dockers I created at some point in the past).
When I try to drag/drop a tab from an existing docker into the arrange view area to create a new docker, it just gives me a floating toolbar, not a new docker.
When I right-click on the new floating toolbar, the positioning options are:
* At main toolbar
* At top of main window
* Floating
* In Toolbar Docker
None of those put it in a new docker.
What am I doing wrong?
How do I create a new docker instead of a floating toolbar?
I am using Reaper v5.980/x64 on Windows 10 Home 1903/18362.239.
EDIT: I looked in the "reaper.ini" file, and saw that it does have parameters for 16 dockers. After some experimenting and a few failed attempts, I was able to edit the correct parts of the file to create a new docker.
However, I would still like to know why the procedure outlined in the Users Guide didn't work. Is it a bug? Or am I doing it wrong?
For those who want to know, here is what I did to add the new toolbar:
1) My "reaper.ini" file defined left/right/top/bottom positions for "docker", "docker1", "docker2", "docker3", and "docker4", so I figured that "docker5" would be the next docker.
2) Using "docker4" as a template, I set the "docker5" parameters as follows ("toolbar:3" is the floating one I wanted to put in a new docker):
Code:
docker5_left=1240
docker5_right=1522
docker5_top=903
docker5_bottom=1002
dockersel5=toolbar:3
dockermode5=32768
toolbar:3=0.50000000 5
I don't know what "0.50000000" means/does (different toolbars have vastly different values), but I figured out that the rest of that line is putting toolbar:3 into docker5.
3) Opened Reaper, and voila! There was the new docker, ready to be repositioned and have more toolbars added to it by dragging/dropping them the normal way.
