My Project Explorer Disappeared

Post by electrolaw »

I feel like an idiot.

My Project Explorer seems to have disappeared. When I click on the "View" menu and select "Project Explorer", it still doesn't show up on the screen. I select and deselect "Project Explorer" and I still can't get it to show up. I have read the Help files and still can't find a solution.

I'm not sure what I did, but can someone help me?

Thanks.

Hello,

Sometimes the window panes get hidden at the side of the screen (they can be shrunk and pinned to the side of the windows). check the edge for a small grey box which says "Project Explorer"

If your still stuck.
Close any Flowcodes running.
Then run windows registry (Windows key then enter regedit in search box)
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\matrixmm\FlowCodeV5\
Expand to show Workspace.
Right click Workspace and select delete.

Run Flowcode then Project explorer should reappear in it's default position

Warning:
Deleting wrong registry entries can stop windows from loading.
Only delete entry to do with flowcode, and your be ok.

Additional information:
What I believes happens by deleting Workspace is:
All dockable windows are set to their initial default position.
