Default stop Reaper from auto docking

Hey everyone. Reaper loves to dock the matrix window,media explorer etc. I don't want this behavior. I don't ever dock these windows, but reaper will automatically. Can somebody show me how to prevent this automatic behavior?

best

View the mixer and routing matrix. Then right click over the little tab in the docker for each of these in turn and disable the option Dock ... in Docker.

Not quite sure what you mean here. I click on the (x) and un-dock the window. However this only works until I restart Reaper. Then it will always dock the Media Explorer again, until I uncheck the 'Open window in docker". Just a nuisance that's all... there must be a preference set somewhere. I just don't know where.

Odd, this works for me, by right clicking on the docking tab and disabling the option "Dock mixer in docker". You could also save it as a Windows screenset. I can close REAPER and restart it umpteen times and it always comes up right.

I haven't come across "Open window in docker" though.

mmm, odd to me too - because it's working now! For years that's been happening.Just not this morning. I do use custom windows, so perhaps that's the culprit. Anyway, I'll investigate further if it happens again. I may have got the nomenclature wrong too, sorry. Thanks for the assistance

Glad you're sorted!

You might also want to try enabling the option Autosave when switching screensets in the Screensets Layout window and see if that stabilises it a bit.

(BTW, apologies if I sounded like I was being "cute" with my comment about Open window in docker - didn't mean to come across like that, just wanted to be sure we were both on the same page).
