In previous Origin, pin a window only locks it in its own folder.

In Origin 2023b, pin a window will lock it to workspace so it will stay when switching to another folder. Set system variable @pws=0 to roll back to old behavior

When the pinned window isn’t in its own folder,

  • folder info. shows in pinned window title.

  • Go to Original Folder toolbar button and context menu added to easily return to its own folder

  • Unpin will make the pinned window disappear in current folder
