How can I prevent the Smart Gallery from loading?

In both iClone and Character Creator I have the Smart Gallery offline and the panel closed. Even after saving the window/panel setup in both apps this "thing" insists on loading the panel at every new start. If there is no way to control how and when this opens then I will be forced to remove it from my system.

I do not like it when unwanted objects force themselves upon my work space without my doing. :crazy:

Yeah Ive noticed that it pops up at the top of my windows, instead of the bottom where I keep putting it. I want the smart gallery installed, but not my main page. I still use the old system for navigating and want the smart gallery to stay where I put it. 

A fix to this issue would be great.

Hello,

Try this: Top Menu > Window > Workspace > Save Layout

All of the newly installed plug-ins may have the same issue.
And we will think about how to enhance it in future versions.

Regards,
Edward

Hello Gerry,
It’s a coincidence that we just completed a Beta version, and after I sent you a private message, I saw this post. :D
Here is the beta version:
Fixed:   Smart Gallery causes iClone/CC stuck around 20 seconds after press the Close button on the welcome screen in some environment.
Fixed:   The second Search in Smart Gallery is not reset search filter cause failed.
Fixed:   When switching to Offline Mode, Smart Gallery still tries to connect to the server and shows error.
Fixed:   Smart Gallery panel does not remember the open/close status and location on the workspace.

Nice, I guess I can figure out where to place those DLLs, but this thread is opened to everyone :)

Update: I did not see there is a readme file :hehe:

Hi Edward,
Unfortunately it still dos not remember Open/Close status. It only seems to remember the location.

Hi,

Could you help to confirm the zip file again? I am worried you get a wrong file. :crying:
There have three files and include a readme.txt there.

Yes Edward, it is exactly the same up to the byte.
I did rename originals and copy both to the respective location.
I then opened iClone and CC, applied offline status to SG and closed it. Saved the workspace Then closed iClone and CC.
When I reopened apps, SG popped up on the screen again.

I mean I can dock SG and it would stay docked, but I wonder if it is possible to completely close it and have it stay closed when I open CC/iClone next time.

PS Supposed Gerry would show up soon and confirm one way or another ;)

Hello,

Sorry, please not rename the old .dll and paste the new .dll under the plugin folder, which will cause you to load two Smart Gallery Plug-in.
Because it will load all the .dll under plug-in folder when IC/CC program initial.
Please try to move out old .dll for backup. :):)

Thank you Edward!
