How to stop new assets opening in new windows each time in Editor
June 29, 2024One of my pet peeves when starting a new project in Unreal is the default behaviour of opening an asset or menu within the Editor. It will open in a new window each time! However, this is super simple to change by accessing the Project Settings.
Within the General – Appearance section, you can find AssetEditorOpenLocation. There’s a range of options to suit your needs, the most straight forward choice being “Main Window”, which will now add any new window as a tab to the Main Window. How lovely!
Hopefully the helps anyone who also got irrationally annoyed by this, too!
