Scene Workspaces - Add-On
Overview
Scene Workspaces creates an alternative workspaces topbar, allowing you to filter and reorder the avaliable workspaces, scene by scene.
Basically, you can decide which workspace you want to link to each scene.
This is possible thanks to a custom property in each scene (which is saved with your .blend file) listing the filtered and ordered list of workspaces linked to the scene.
Some optionals you can opt-in/out from add-on preferences:
- Switch to show/hide Scene Workspaces custom topbar (you hide this from preferences)
Custom workspaces topbar
Default workspaces topbar
- Option for Compact UI (default ON)
Compact Mode On
Compact Mode Off
What you can usually to do by right-clicking on workspace (and more) it's avaliable by clicking the near options button.
The first options are the one of Scene Workspaces:
- Toggle Compact Mode
- Unlink the workspace from the scene
- Rename the workspace (for all scenes)
- Reorder to front (only for these scene)
- Move left (only for these scene)
- Move right (only for these scene)
- Reorder to back (only for these scene)
And then, the default workspace options.
Note
The default workspace options like Reorder to Front, Reorder to Back will only affect the global workspaces, and not the Scene Workspaces topbar.
Also, default options Previous Workspace and Next Workspace functions will not follow the scene order.
Be sure to use the Scene Workspaces relative options, instead.
Why this add-on?
In Blender, workspaces are common across scenes.
Still, you may need different workspaces in different scenes, depending on the purpose of the scene.
For example, you may want a scene with workspaces optimized for modelling and another Scene optimized for Video Editing, in the same project.
