Hello Framers,
I use Frame 9 (9.0p255) in Windows 7 via Parallels 6 on a Mac. I keep
many palettes on-screen in one or two floating blocks.
This morning I opened an existing Frame document and all palettes were
missing. Multiple attempts at opening a palette with a menu item (such
as Format>Character>Designer) or key combo (such as CTRL+D) also failed.
After several tries and restarts (both Windows and Frame), clicking
through the menus did begin to reveal some of the palettes. I am not
sure if all are directly accessible from menus.
What might cause this to happen? Is the best way (only way?) to restore
disappearing palettes simply to call all of them from menus again?
thanks,
Karen
Karen,
FM keeps track of your open palettes etc. in Workspace files with the
extension .fws or .cfws. It sounds like something got fried in
whichever .cfws file you last used.
The best way to restore your palettes is to set up the interface the way
you like it and then save it as a custom workspace. Then when things go
haywire (or you've just managed to move everything around for various
reasons), you can choose Reset from the workspace menu and everything
will be restored. (Assuming the .cfws file is OK.)
(The .fws and .cfws files are in the WorkSpaces folder within fminit;
you may find more than one instance of the fminit folder; I'm not sure
how Parallels, Macs, etc. work this out.)
HTH,
