Could the dockers be moved to a dedicated section of the file menu bar? This would make them more accessible seeing as how I personally have to open them regularly. ![Dockers file menu](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/0/0/00f4015601df522063f129d82c9811bd6e162a03.jpeg) ---

There was already a Merge request here - [Draft: Move docker action submenu to Window, add docker menu toolbar action (!1791) · Merge requests · Graphics / Krita · GitLab](https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/1791) by @tom Check out the discussions about this in the MR. There are some limitations in introducing the docker menu at the top level. The suggestion was to categories the dockers in submenus and also have a dedicated button near the the workspace chooser button. ---

There is the “RD Menus (Resource and Docker Menus)”-Plugin by @LunarKreatures which does this and works fine for me: > [@Resource and Docker Menus Plugin](https://krita-artists.org/t/resource-and-docker-menus-plugin/39813): > > I made a simple plugin that adds 2 new menus in the menu bar one for Resources and another for Dockers. It always felt a bit weird to me that they were inside the settings menu. So i wanted to make them more easily accessible. Another thing i wanted to change is to not have to navigate into a submenu to open dockers, so i organized it so they are always in plain view. Resources has both manage resources, and the resource library in it. Here is an image of the dockers menu > **[GitHub - LainFenrir/krita-resource-docker-menus: krita plugin.

Thanks for the tip, this works well. And I agree with that the dockers could be nested in the window menu bar for Krita itself. ---
