2.3. Dialogs and Docking




Use
Windows → Dockable Dialogs
to view a list of dockable dialogs. Select a dockable dialog from
the list to view the dialog. If the dialog is available in a dock,
then it is made visible. If the dialog is not in a dock, the behavior
is different in multi and single window modes:

• 
  
  In multi-window mode, a new window, containing the dialog, appears
  on the screen.
  
  
  
  
• 
  
  In single-window mode, the dialog is automatically docked to the
  Layers-Undo dock as a tab.
  
  
  
  

You can click-and-drag a tab and drop it in the wanted place:

• 
  
  either in the tab bar of a dock, to integrate it in the dialog
  group,
  
  
  
  
• 
  
  or on a docking bar that appears as a blue line when the mouse
  pointer goes over a dock border, to anchor the dialog to the dock.
  
  
  
  

In multi-window mode, you can also click on the dialog title and drag it
to the wanted place.
