Which action will pop a catalog into a new browser window in the Workspace?

• A. Command-click catalog to pop a new browser
• B. Double-click catalog to open in existing browser
• C. Right-click and choose open
• D. Drag catalog into a new window

Answer: (A)

Popping a catalog into its own Workspace browser window is done by modifier-clicking. On a Mac, holding the Command key and clicking the catalog tells Pro Tools to open that catalog in a new, separate browser window instead of reusing the current one. This is exactly the action that creates a second window for easy side-by-side viewing or drag-and-drop between windows. Double-clicking would open the catalog in the existing browser, not pop it out. Right-clicking and choosing open performs a standard open action rather than spawning a new window, and dragging a catalog into a new window isn’t the built-in pop-out method.
