Isn't that what the pin above beside the close button is for? Just tested in alpha 60 and its working for me.

The pin keeps a single window on top, but if you close that window and reopen it, it doesnt stay pinned. You also have to pin every single plugin window individually.

I use a single monitor with the TCP and MCP windows separate (ctrl M to switch between). When I open a plugin window it is on top, if I click the mix window to make an adjustment it gets hidden behind.

Plugin windows should have the option of always being on top without the need to pin.

Ah ok. Sorry, I misunderstood.

We should have this ability as an option. I use dual screens most of the time and don't need it. But when I go single screen on my Macbook Pro (running W7 64) having the plugins stay on top would be of great benefit.

Here's another thread of discussion about this topic:

http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=76935

Basically I proposed a third state for the pin, which keeps the pinned window always behind other windows. I guess this would do the trick too, for people using floating mixers.

a preference to open all plugin windows with the "on top" pin enabled by default?

Right now, "On Top" means on top of everything, including non-Reaper windows (any system or other program window).

I would much rather see "On Top" mean any Reaper related window, not unrelated windows. When you click on a non-Reaper window, it should be on top. When you click back to any Reaper related window, the previous Reaper window hierarchy displays.

Just to make sure, but I'm pretty sure you meant that when clicked on a non-Reaper window, that one should be on top...and I would agree too.

Developers, please, make an option to enable/disable the pin icon, using Actual Window Manager the pin icon is extremely annoying.

bump

Previously pinned plugins opening up un-pinned and behind other pinned plugins. So frustrating.

Please sort this stuff out.
