[Qgis-developer] My God: plugin palette disappeared :(
Hello all, this morning I had a bad surprise in my QGis 2.2 64 bit on Windows 7 : the plugin palette disappeared, and there is no way to find it, or to make it reappear. Someone other had same problem ? I have seen in View ToolsPlugins checkbox, but it is checked ( ON ). I have also seen in Impostazioni Personalizzazione (sorry, my QGis is in italian...) and Toolbars mPluginToolBar is also ON. But, the plugin toolbar is not shown, in any place. I moved all other Toolbar, to search if the Plugins toolbar was hidden under another. No. It is probably in the HiperSpace :) Also, I tried to re-install completely QGis 2.2. : nothing changed. Could somebody help me.Need I to switch to some other Arc program ? ;) I am joking, but I don't know how to use QGis, now, also to test my own plugins :( Thank you for any help Roberto ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

Do you mean the toolbar? Can you provide a screenshot of your running QGIS. Have you tried right clicking on the blank space in the toolbar area and checking if it is enabled.

I teach intro to GIS at a local college this term, and of course I am using QGIS (1.8, yes I know old, but I am lucky to have anything installed in their locked down environment). The one problem that the students face constantly, and the one problem I cannot solve, yet, is when they do something like you just mentioned: they drag and drop a dialog somewhere, close it, undock it, or I'm not sure what they are doing exactly...and then anytime they start GIS on that same machine that dialog is no where to be found (and for the life of me I cannot find how to turn it back on for them). I have struggled all term with this. One example are the Properties dialog windows in the Print Composer - students do something it seems to close these, and they can never be seen ever again. I know, maybe this is solved in QGIS 2.2, but I just wanted to give you this feedback. I love QGIS, but this one thing keeps coming back to bite me in the butt. Ha.

Re: [Qgis-developer] My God: plugin palette disappeared :(
Hi Jeff, Apologies for jumping into your conversation with Tim, but that issue with 1.8 was fixed before the 2.0 release [0]. I recommend, if possible, finding a means of your students running 2.0.1 or 2.2.0, where a user can now just select the items under the View menu. There are a couple workarounds for 1.8 listed on the issue page, however. If it is some dialog disappearing in the main app, that is probably a separate issue.

In addition to the other responses to this message, you could also prep by getting your QGIS install into an ideal stage (UI layout wise) and then close QGIS. Then use regedit and navigate to: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\QuantumGIS Then right click on that entry in the tree in the left and chose export. Save the .reg file as RestoreQGISState.reg on the desktop (or similar). Now when a royal stuff up occurs, the user can just double click that file (close QGIS first), then open QGIS and it should be restored to default. See you in CT in July!
