Automatic filmstrip mode in browser

NN635648799552875401UL
In one of the Webinars, Capture One 8 is shown to automatically switch the Browser to Grid mode when the viewer is hidden, and automatically switching the browser back to Filmstrip mode when the viewer is shown, either via shortcut og when double clicking an image ind the browser. The automatic switch back to filmstrip mode doesn't work for me (8.3.3 windows). My browser stays in grid mode after the viewer is shown, which is kind of annoying with its 1½ rows of thumbnails below the viewer. The Webinars was shown using a Mac version. Does anybody else experience this, or is it some kind of preference I haven't discovered ?

Thanks in advance.

    Can you link to the video of this webinar? If that is possible for you, I like to look into it. Possibly there is an alignment issue here (which means a difference between Mac & Windows). Seeing the video first would help to identify this.

    I wonder if that on Mac it will switch automatically because on Windows you can do the following:

    View-> Hide Viewer
    Then set the thumbnails on the grid to the size you want, they will fill the space up to the tools panel.
    Then switch between the Thumbnails and Viewer by pressing Ctrl+B

    Thanks for your replies.

    The Ctrl-B suggestion is no good. In my case, when in browser mode with the viewer hidden, pressing Ctrl-B hides the browser and show the viewer. That's not what I'm after.
    The video in question is this:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_snlVTL ... 9pZu_X_vLJ

    If you start watching from 7:00, David shows a browser in Filmstrip mode, and the viewer shown. Then at 7:11 he hides the viewer, which puts the browser in grid mode. Then at 7:41 he doubleclicks an image, which shows the viewer, and magically brings the browser back into filmstrip mode.

    This doesn't work in Windows, the browser stays in grid mode after doubleclicking an image, which is annoying if your have samewhat large thumbnails in your browser, then they wont fit after the switch.

    Any clues ?

    Hi, I looked at the video and compared both Mac and Windows and come to the same conclusion as the OP: the Filmstrip mode is not restored after the Viewer returns.

    This is an alignment issue, meaning that there is a difference between Mac & Windows, as I assumed earlier. I will record this when contact Phase One, hopefully later this week. Feel free to log the issue in a support case yourself.

    Hi,

    If you see time 8:40 on the video he is pressing the 'G' key which he has assigned to Hide Viewer command for his own set of Commands made under Preferences, Commands Tab.

    He doesn't double-click he just highlights the image and presses G

    The filmstrip mode is restored under Windows 10.

    Interesting if this works on Windows 10, and thanks alot for your replies.
    The issue is the same whether I show the viewer with a keyboard shortcut (G in Davids case), or doubleclicking on an image.

    But thanks for testing this on Win10, I might consider upgrading then.

    Note that I have similar findings as the OP on Windows 10. So it might not be related to the OS, but happen occasionally.

    Maybe deleting preferences might help. Have to look into it.
