File Browser

Prior to most recent upgrade, I could toggle between listing files by filename and listing by TOCentry as the two options were buttons at the bottom of the files panel. Now that is gone and the only way to 'toggle' is to select one or the other from the View menu. Did I somehow turn off the toggle buttons? Or was that option removed for some reason?

It is possible to 'Dock' both in the same area. Wen you succeed, you get 'tabs' at the bottom

Wow, that was quick. Thanks. But I am not familiar with the term 'Dock' and do not understand what you are telling me to do. I have been able to get the two lists stacked by turning both on in the view menu -- but that doesn't give me any buttons.

Dock is when the 'Lock in' to the main window.
Docking a single is fairly easy, when you hit the right sopt it 'snaps in'
Getting the secon to Dock on top is fussy (they typically want to tile)

Align the upper edge with the main window frame corner

Thanks for your help. I now understand 'docking' and the 'fussiness.' After many tries I apparently found the magical spot and it snapped into place -- but I haven't a clue as to where or what the hotspot is.

Neither do I, I just fuss and it happens

The hard part is getting the tabs in the right order, so that Files is first, I also dock the Live CSS panel there.
