How to toggle Image Editor so it shows the Active Slot in the Texture Paint Mode

Hello,

When I Texture Paint something from the Texture Paint workspace, the image editor switch automatically to the texture map I am painting at the moment.

However, when I am in the Layout workspace, and I open a new window to hold the Image Editor, this Image editor doesn’t switch from texture to texture when I am painting in from the 3D Viewport in Texture Paint Mode.

There must be a toogle I cant find to activate that option that it is active by default in the Texture Paint workspace.

Not a big deal but just out of pure curiosity.

It actually has nothing to do with the workspace… at some point you must have manually selected a texture in the UV Editor or Image Editor… when you do that the pin will automatically be activated:
image
To go back to the default just click on that icon to unpin it and the image will swap out as usual.

Hope that helped.
