How to unhide the navigation panel (my current project, product catalog, ...)

Andreas Heide

Hello,

A user managed to somehow "unhide" the navigation bar on the left side (my current project, product catalog, ...)

Pressing F2 does not lead to any change.

Reloading a standard .ini file (created with reg2ini) via ini2reg also does not get back the navigation bar.

There is the down arrow where I could select floating/docking/Auto Hide and Hide - maybe the hide was used. 

How can I make the navigation bar visible again?

Dimensions CM 14.5.3 is used.

    Hi Andreas.

    Can the user select View->My Current Stream to make it appear? It could also be they just moved the slide bar over to the left to hide it, you can slide it back again if that is the case. In the registry it is stored in the workspace key similar as your earlier issue

    (+) menu bar missing - Dimensions CM User Discussions - Dimensions CM (microfocus.com)

    When reloading the standard .ini file make sure you first delete the existing key first:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Serena\Dimensions\14.5.0\PC Client

    Hi Richard,

    No, the View->My Current Project does not change the view.

    We tried a bit and it seems that some registry keys \PC Client\Workspace\Pane-*\IsFloating are set to 1 instead of 0 and maybe the floating window is somewhere outside the screen. But changing the value to 0 does not help, dimensions is setting it at the next start back to 1. 

    Then we will try to remove the complete \PC Client\ tree of keys to reset everything.

    Hi Andreas. Without knowing what they did, deleting the registry keys is the simplest way to reset the views. You don't need to load the .ini file as Desktop Client will recreate the default entries on startup

    Removing the complete tree finally solved the problem.

    The ini file we use normally for new users to have the same view/columns/colors and so on.

    Thanks for your help!
