Restoring print composer panels #15462
Comments
Author Name: Larry Shaffer (Larry Shaffer) Damien, Control-clicking the toolbar (not menu bar) in Mac and selecting the panel that is missing does the trick in both 1.8.0 and latest master branch build for me, and is the same solution provided by Nathan. (see attachments) Please update missing info for your issue (platform, version, category 'gui', and set the priority to 'normal'), and provide feedback on whether the method described above does not work for you. I agree that there is not a Mac-like, or straightforward, means of retrieving the missing panels (using a contextual menu to bring back a major part of the ui is a bit obscure). This should be addressed for next version. Thank you for reporting it.

Author Name: Damien O'Grady (Damien O'Grady) Thank you Larry. Forgive me for not putting the missing details in right away, but I need to contact the student who told me of the problem once again, to get those details. The problem comes when the Toolbar itself has been turned off. There is then nothing left to right-click to acquire the drop-down menu. Is there a config file somewhere I can access to manually switch the Toolbar back on? Thanks Damien |
Author Name: Larry Shaffer (Larry Shaffer) Damien, Using 1.8.0, I hid all panels and the toolbar in Print Composer and could not find a way to retrieve them within QGIS, short of using the Python Console. Doing the following will return the Composer's UI to a default state, i.e. showing all components again:
Make sure not to leave a blank line in the file where you deleted. Close file.
Please update missing info for your issue if you can (platform, version, category 'gui', and set the priority to 'normal') and leave it as open, since this is a GUI problem that needs addressed. Thank you. |
Author Name: Damien O'Grady (Damien O'Grady) Thank you for your Help, Larry. I am waiting for feedback to confirm that your solution worked. Meanwhile I don't seem to be able to edit details and change status. Am I missing something? Thanks. |
Author Name: Larry Shaffer (Larry Shaffer) This is how to edit your issue: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineIssues#Updating-an-existing-issue However, it doesn't seem to be a feature of this version of Redmine, or it's turned off. :^( |
Author Name: Damien O'Grady (Damien O'Grady) It is probably a permissions setting... |

A student of mine has the same problem, but under Ubuntu 12.04 using QGIS 1.8 from ubuntugis-unstable. Is there a similar file that can be edited under Ubuntu ? I have tried completely removing (and purging) all packages containing "qgis" in their name, but when I reinstall QGIS I see the same problem again, i.e. no panels and no toolbar. Any hints ?

Author Name: Larry Shaffer (Larry Shaffer) This is how you can re-show those Composer GUI elements using PyQGIS (should work on all platforms).
If you have more than one composer window to fix, and don't want to restart QGIS, open all of them and use this code instead:

Author Name: Larry Shaffer (Larry Shaffer) Here's an even better solution.
All Composer windows now have a menu named 'Window' which lists the toolbar and dock widgets (same as contextual menu on tool bar). You can hide/show the widgets as if it was coded that way to begin with. No need to open Composer windows first. You can execute the code as many times as needed. It will not keep adding new 'Window' menus. |
Author Name: Larry Shaffer (Larry Shaffer) Added to master with commit c928868, as per the same way they are displayed in main app (under View menu and separated by widget type). Issue should be closed. |

Original Redmine Issue: 6125
Affected QGIS version: master
Issue #15412 was dismissed quickly as a non-issue, but the problem is not solved in the case of 1.8.0 for the mac, where, when panels in Print Composer have been turned off, there does not appear to be a way to retrieve them - right-clicking the menu bar, as works in Windows, does not appear to work on the Mac.
