Settings & keep-time · Interface, Dock and Apple Intelligence
I changed how Storage Studio opens, but nothing changed — why?
Short answer: The change applies the next time you click the menu bar icon. Close the current window, click the icon again, and the view you chose in Settings → Interface opens.
The new choice takes effect the next time you click the Storage Studio menu bar icon, not while the current window is open. Close the window, click the menu bar icon again, and you'll get the view you picked.
You can switch back any time in Settings → Interface → How Storage Studio opens.
