Subject Re: Blank Navigator From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Sat, 9 Mar 2024 16:48:14 -0500 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Mervyn, Sound advice, although a backup or cloned drive will work also. :) I had something happen recently while testing some program, and when the two-tools closed, I tried launching the app, but as you know, sometimes the focus isn't in the navigator window and I double clicked on something and things got wonky.  Deleted the Plus.ini, forgetting to make a backup...and you know it...all my settings were screwed up. Had to resort to a cloned drive file to replace it, and only lost the recent files info...but should have known better. :) Lee On 3/9/2024 5:29 AM, Mervyn Bick wrote: <snip> > > This is possibly due to a corrupted PLUS.INI file . > > The "sledgehammer" approach is to delete the file while dBASE is closed > and then restart dBASE.  dBASE will create a new PLUS.INI with all > default settings.  This can be a PITA as one has to reset one's preferences > > In the Command panel   ? _app.currentUserPath > > This will print something like the following in the Results panel > > C:\Users\Mervyn\AppData\Local\dBASE\dBASE2019\Bin > > Mark and copy this. > > Close dBASE. > > Open the File Explorer and left click in the "QuickAccess" entryfield. > Paste and press enter.  Rename PLUS.INI and restart dBASE. > > dBASE should create a new PLUS.INI > > BEFORE you try this, with dBASE closed, open PLUS.INI in Notebook (or > any other text editor) and search for [Navigator] > > The entry should look something like > > [Navigator] > IconType=0 > Minimized=0 > Maximized=0 > Position=0 0 507 574 > Open=1 > ShowFileExtensions=1 > SearchPath=0 > > > If it doesn't, make changes and save the file.  Try opening dBASE.  If > all is well make a copy of PLUS.INI "for next time".  SOD'S Law will > ensure that if you have a copy of a working version of PLUS.INI to fall > back on there won't ever be a "next time". :-) > > Mervyn. >
