Is there any way to lock the UI in Houdini?

There are soooo many little things to click on in the UI and most of them are about 2 pixels away from things I regularly use, like tabs. It would be really nice to be able to lock all collapsed shelves, resize window bars and those little "restore pane" arrow buttons on the bars.

I have lost count of how many times that I have accidentally clicked those and had to reset my desktop or hunt down the little shelf bar to re-collapse it.


Side question: If there isnt any way to currently do that, is there a searchable list for submitted RFE's? Or anyway to know if something like that has already been requested? Or does it matter and I should just submit it anyway?

Hi,

You can use the Toggle Stowbars feature:



There isn’t a public searchable SESI bug/RFE database, so users can’t check whether the same RFE already exists. SESI can review it internally and link it to an existing bug/RFE if they find that it has already been reported. Duplicate RFEs can still be useful because they show that more users are affected or want the same improvement.
