Multiple Bins

Folders are a good way to stay organized but they are tied to the Project Bin. If you need more flexibility you can create various bins from folders you have created. The advantage of multiple bins is that you can un-dock them, move them around your workspace, change the sequence in the dock area, and even move them to a second (or third) monitor.

Right-click the folder name and choose Open Current Folder In New Bin.

A bin can be closed either by clicking the window-closeClose Current Bin icon on the bin toolbar, opening the application-menuOptions menu and selecting Close Current Bin (you must be in the bin), or by selecting the Menu ‣ View ‣ Project Bins and un-ticking the respective bin in the list.

Note the additional icons in the toolbar of the bin.
