Is there a way to put favorite morph as separate pane/tab?

because I had to click favorite favorite favorite on posing pane each time I want to pose, or typing to filter the morphs, it just not efficient after a hundred times more.

Set up your favourites, then save a character preset and use that to load the figue in future if you mean you want to save favourite settings. If you mean you have to keep selecting the Favourites group, group selection should be persistent in settings panes - as long as the selected node has the group - but I am not certain that applies to a generated group like this.

optionally, bitwelders Visual Menus at DAZ store.  Would argue that's what VM is made for and more. Lots of productivity once you set up.   Save as shaping preset duf with one on and one off, and toggle visual menus with hotkey of your choice and quick click.  So  fast. If anyone is visual, likely will love this.  Only issue going forward is what will happen with that and DS 5 and new scripting upgrade.

Unfortunately VM cannot "dock" panes or dials to the menus/panels...

@James, since Favorites could be only saved on the figure(s) in Scene file(s)... suggest you follow these steps for manipulating Favorites:

(First, if you wanna use Parameters pane and Posing pane at the same time, just undock the Posing pane...)

For new scene -:
- Set up Favorites on a figure. Better do that in Parameters pane other than Posing pane as you can "select multiple dials and add/remove them to/from Favorites" with Edit mode. Then they'll be shown in Shaping and Posing panes accordingly.
- Save the figure as a Scene Subset or a Character Preset as Richard mentioned. You load this Subset or Preset each time other than the default Base figure, then you'll have all the pre-defined Favorites. Just duplicate it if you need another figure in the scene.

For old scene -: (You wanna use these "Favorites" on other figure(s) in old scene file(s) but don't wanna manually set them up again...)
- Open the Subset or Character preset duf file with an Editor (Notepad++ or Emeditor...). If they're compressed, uncompress them with Batch Converter (Windows - Panes - Batch Converter...)
- Search "Favorites" in the file, you'll find an "Extra" section under the scene node definition of the figure (screenshot 1), copy the codes ( in the red frame )
- Open an old scene file, seach figure's lable, paste the code to Extra section ( in the green frame ) to replace them, and Save! (screenshot 2)
- You'll have Favorites on them after loading the scene file in DS

VM is better or faster IMO.  As i wrote above, you open each VM panel you setup with with your own chosen hotkeys. Pops up instant.  So in that sense they do have panels. You just call up differently with hotkeys.  Just like Blender.

so actually faster for me then using docked panels or menus, because don't have to move mouse to repective panels.  Make own custom UIs for VM. Super fast to apply so many different DS dufs.

VM gives option to have window appear where you want to a pretty good degree. Such as where your mouse last was.

IMO, for productivity VM>DS panes.
