Hey all, I'm new here, and I have a quick question. I was over at my friend's studio, and he was using DP4 on his Mac. I caught a quick glimpse of him zooming all the windows out (so they were smaller and more spread out on the desktop), and then bringing a different one to the foreground (zooming it back to the front). What the heck was this? Is this a Mac effect or a DP effect? Or was I imagining it all? I don't think he was in another program, but I'd really like to know what he had going on. I'm primarily using a Windows machine as a DAW, but if I can get this sort of capability on my box, I'd be a lot happier. Minimizing to taskbars is boring. :^)
Anybody know what I'm talking about? Thanks! |

Yeah, Exposé was what I was looking for. I must have seen it on DP4 before they integrated Consolidated Window, so my friend had several windows open. (He was assembling and arranging a full 5.1 surround + video piece, so that certainly must have had a few windows going.) Two days ago, I probably would have said that CW is the way to go (I mean, I'm a tabbed-window Firefox user), but now that I see animated window switching, it feels a little better to me. Maybe it just looks cooler. That's worth something, right?
