Preview bar in Flare 10

Post by paul_collins »

Does anybody know of a way to turn off / hide the preview bar (introduced in v10) that sits at the bottom of the Content Explorer and Project Organizer?

View tab, Info group, Status bar check box?

No, the Status Bar check box only toggles the status bar across the bottom of the entire window. I'm referring to new 'preview bar' section that sits towards the bottom of the content / project organizer accordion and shows info about the selected file/folder.

Oh, ok. Sorry, I hadn't even noticed it - shows how much attention I pay... I can't see a control for it so it's possible this is just one of those "improvements" that does nothing other than stealing your screen real-estate.

Just hunted through the Flare help and although it's mentioned, there's nothing to say how (or even if) you can turn it off. I suspect, therefore, that you can't.

I had a look for this the other day in Flare but couldn't see anything either; just the Status and Info Bars.

Was there a particular reason you are looking to turn it off? Or just the real estate issue?

Yes, just to recover the real estate. It provides no useful information to me.
