Auto Hide Mode (side) Tool Panel in Mac but not Windows?

Jason Picard
I was watching the "New to Capture One? Hit the ground running!" seminar Youtube video and I noticed at about 10:28 ( https://youtu.be/-f_veN-YWbs?t=628 ) there is an option to toggle "Auto Hide Mode" above the "Place Left/Right" toggle.

I don't have this option in the Windows version.

I would really appreciate this feature! It's one of the things I miss most from LR, honestly. I mostly edit on the go, from a laptop, and screen space is at a premium. Having toolbars that disappear when I'm not actively clicking on them and float in when I hover over them, or stay open with a click (and go away again as easily) for the rare moments when I want to see them, allows me to see my work as big as my screen will allow and has the added benefit of keeping me totally focused on the image.

While we're at it... Some way to get rid of the "film strip" on the side would also be nice. I find it pretty much useless, since I'm mostly moving from image to image via the arrow keys, or toggling the viewer with a hotkey when I need it.

    I never use the film strip at the side. You can turn it off when in Viewer mode, then just toggle between Browser (grid view) and Viewer with a suitable key. (I use §.)

    How do I turn it off? I can't find the setting.

    Ctrl+B is the default shortcut to hide/view the Browser while Ctrl+T is the same for Tools.
    The auto-hide feature discrepancy between Mac OS and Windows is coming from far far away in time (I think I've asked about it many years ago) and still I wonder why it's not possible to have it on Windows. It can't be the most difficult thing in the world to program.

    Aha - that's partially helpful.

    Unfortunately the setting does not persist for me. As it comes back every time I switch between Viewer and large Browser with the (default) ctrl+alt+v hotkey.

    This seems like buggy behavior. Is there any reason I might be missing that it's not?

    It's not a buggy behavior. You need to use both the shortcuts alternatively thinking in terms of what you want to hide. Hiding the browser will show the viewer and hiding the viewer will show the browser.

    So, if you hide the browser and then you want it back you press Ctrl+B again, but if you want to switch to large browser (hiding the viewer) you have to press Ctrl+Alt+V.

    Similarly if you have only the browser on screen (you hid the Viewer with Ctrl+Alt+V) and you want to switch only to the viewer (hiding the browser) you have to press Ctrl+B. But if you want both you need to show the viewer with Ctrl+Alt+V again.
