Moving Views between Workspaces

[SanDiegoAstro]

Is there a way to easily move Views between workspaces?
I seem to be able to do it by copying to a clipboard and then pasting into a new workspace, but the name is not retained.

Is there an easier way of doing this?

Thanks!

well as far as i know you can't do a "wholesale" move of views between workspaces but if you right-click on a view's title bar a contextual menu pops up that lets you move the view to another workspace.

If you right-click on the workspace (not on a view or icon), a context menu pops up where you'll find a Move Workspace Contents item. The same on the Workspace main menu item. Just select the target workspace where you want the contents moved to.

If you just want to move a single image, a better way is perhaps to iconize it and drag the image icon to the corresponding workspace selector (square black icons on the bottom control bar).

The clipboard is the worst way to transfer image data in PixInsight. It is intended only to transfer 8-bit bitmaps to/from other desktop applications.

Wow, thanks Juan.  I see that now.

Thanks so much for the reply.

Hi Juan:

So I finally had some time to try this.   Moving is a snap now.  Thx!   However, I realize I asked the wrong question...

Is there a way to 'Copy' images to other Workspaces and/or is there a way to duplicate an entire Workspace?

Thanks!
