Inquiry about separating editor window for external placement

Enter

Dear Spine Team

I wanted to inquire about the possibility of a feature that would allow users to separate windows within the Spine editor, similar to applications like Photoshop, Unity, or Visual Studio.

I believe that, given the power of Spine and the complexity that comes with it, having the option to externally reorder windows could greatly improve the user experience and workflow.

Are there any future plans to improve the editor, including the ability to detach windows and place them outside the main editor window?

Thank you for your time and the excellent work you do with Spine. thank you

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry and kind words about Spine!

Currently, the ability to detach windows and place them outside the main Spine editor window is not available. However, this feature is on our roadmap, and we are aware that many users have requested it. The main challenge lies in the technology Spine uses, which makes creating detached windows more complex. We do plan to provide better support for multi-monitor setups and floating windows within the main Spine window in the future.

For now, you can rearrange views within the Spine window and organize them in tabs. Additionally, you can stretch the Spine window across multiple monitors as a temporary workaround. You can find more information and tips on using multiple monitors with Spine here.

For more details, you can follow the progress on this feature on our GitHub issue tracker:

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work towards improving the Spine editor.

Best regards,
The Spine Team
