'shift-click to deselect is not working' has been merged into this idea

Open Asset Plugin window keeps opening up even though I keep shutting it. It continuously interrupts my flow.

The Open Asset plugin for Indesign continuously pops up. I don't use it. I don't want to use it. I want it to stop popping up and interrupting my workflow. If I close the window, it should stay CLOSED.

    Hey everybody,

    You can do a few things to stop the OA panel from annoying popping up: simply drag the OA panel into your docked sidebar of Windows (or panels: i.e. where Pages, Links, Swatches, etc. live).

    If you want to permanently stop it from appearing at all (until you have to trash preferences again, of course) do this:

    1. Open InDesign (don’t open a document, or create new).

    2. Go to the Workspace menu, upper right or in the main menu: Window > Workspace (the tab may read: “Start” as a default when no files are open) — select your preferred Workspace (if you have one already setup).

    3. Drag the OpenAsset panel out of your dock and close it by clicking the little “X” in upper left corner of panel; or if its not in your dock, just close it.

    4. Re-save your Workspace (retitle or just use the same name of your preferred existing Workspace if you wish, it will prompt you to update/save).

    5. Quit InDesign.

    The OA will no longer appear.

    *(If you have to trash prefs due to Mac issues, you'll need repeat these steps, of course).

    This is a very annoying feature, please if you could make it less pervasive and intrusive to my workflow.
    If I close the tab it should remain closed. This plugin is wasting my time, please fix this ****..

    It is the worst thing ever. I've even stopped using InDesign because of this ****.
