Possible for 'top' in quicklook window to default to off?
  • Hi there -

    I use the Quicklook window of AudioFinder as a handy way to see sample rate/bit depth/format of files in the finder, and in fact it's pretty much all I use Audiofinder for. So Audiofinder is always in 'detached' mode for me. It seems that the Quicklook window always defaults to 'top' being on which is annoying in my workflow since if I select an audio file in the finder, Quicklook pops up as desired, but then stays in front of whatever application I move to until I either turn 'top' off, or go back to the finder and select a non-audio file; this is of course very inconvenient. I can turn 'top' off but it only stays that way until the next time I have to reboot. Is there any way to set it as a preference to *not* be in 'top' mode?

    Thanks!

  • You should be able to Click the "Top" button and make it light color (off) and then it will be at a normal window level.
  • Yes - like I said, I can do that, but it only stays that way until the next time I reboot or start up Audiofinder. What I'm wondering is if there's a way for it to *stay* or default to normal window level?

    Thanks,

  • It remembers it's last state on my test machines.
    Are you launching with the Finder Selection mode enabled?
  • Yes, Finder Selection mode enabled, Quicklook window detached, 'Top' setting does not stick. Mac OSX 10.6.8, MacPro dual quad core Nehalem.

    Thanks!

  • Hi, that explains it, when you launch in that mode it makes it top because some people set this feature and then couldn't find window and complained. So it is top in that mode only on launch.
  • And there's no way to change that default behavior then?
  • I'll see what I can do...
  • Thanks for the response!

    best,
