There are times when you need to modify an option or display something temporarily and you don't want to have to modify the entire interface to achieve it.

In After Effects it works by hovering over a panel and pressing a key.

Please don't post links to external sources. Especially not Google.

Every user who follows your link will receive a ton of tracking cookies from Google. I think many users won't watch your video for that reason...
Your link sets the following tracking cookies:

google.com
drive.google.com
content.googleapis.com
fonts.googleapis.com
googleusercontent.com
gstatic.com
youtube.googleapis.com
ytimg.com

There is no consent prompt before these cookies are set (which is required by law in the EU).
So users should be cautious before clicking the link and they should use private browser mode and appropriate blockers.


While I welcome suggestions, ideas and feature requests, not everything that is useful in the context of another application makes necessarily sense in IMatch.
Or makes sense for more than a handful of users.

IMatch has maximize panel on click features already panels where this is useful, for example Metadata Panel and similar panels/groupd:



Spreading the Media & Folders tree over the entire workspace makes not much sense IMHO.
IMatch allows you to create custom workspaces (Loading and Saving Workspaces) for different workflows, if you need some real difficult or varying settings.

I did not know the whole topic of google, I upload it as a zip, so there are no problems.

I think there are many different ways to use a program, maybe they have several monitors or you are away from home and work in a
portable. (In image 1 it would be interesting to be able to expand the folders)

I think that having the workspace is a good solution (although it requires you to prepare several combinations) and the option to maximize the panels is also interesting, but in some cases it is not entirely useful (Image 2 and Image 3), you lose a lot of screen.
Likewise, having a direct action is not the same as pressing an icon, think of using the scroll wheel or clicking on the arrows to move the content of a window.

I use many different software and I think this system is one of the most comfortable and versatile to use many panels.
I know they are small improvements, but if it is not possible or to others it does not seem useful, I understand.

Auto-hide is also a good solution for small screens.

Not correct. Everybody browser downloading your ZIP file will receive all the tracking cookies.

IMatch panels support auto hide.

[javiavid]

Yes, I meant that the auto-hide option of imatch is another good solution.

What is the best way to send video?

How can you put images between the text and not attached?

You can attach files up to 2MB in size to your posts (via the "Attachments and other options" section under the post editor).

Hosting files on external sources is always problematic these days. Especially with companies like Google or Facebook, which track you to the loo if they can.
We have very strict rules in the EU (like the GDPR) for very good reason. And one of the rules is that a web site has to ask _before_ it sets non-required tracking cookies.
Links to Google Drive set all the cookies but don't ask. Hence my warning above.
