Arch Linux, no side panel, only main browser window.

[mikedebian]

FSViewer found all libs during compile, no errors, installed succesfully.

Main browser mode window opens. Can click around, launch files, enter folders, drag folders to the top to bookmark.
No side panel, can not manipulate files other than launch.

Based on the screenshot in the README file, that is not the intended way as far as I understand.

Hey @mikedebian, this sounds a lot like an issue with WindowMaker's configuration, see for example roblillack/wmaker#4. Can you try adapting your configuration and restart wmaker?

[mikedebian]

Hello, yes I can try, however to let you know, app menu works in all other gnustep applications I have installed.

I made the change to the source file, installed modified file, did not have any effect, sorry.

Today, it suddenly wanted to work. No changes made in any windowmaker files, no nothing. Very weird. I just opened it up and there the pane was.

I'm having this issue on the latest Alpine Linux (3.18), using latest packages, FSViewer built from fresh git clone. Modifying /etc/WindowMaker/WMWindowAttributes doesn't help, menu isn't shown and I can only use the window title context menu item "Kill" to close FSViewer. I have attached the relevant files here:

Contents of /etc/WindowMaker/WMWindowAttributes:

{
  Logo.WMDock = {Icon = GNUstepGlow.tiff;};
  Logo.WMPanel = {Icon = GNUstep.tiff;};
  Logo.WMClip = {Icon = clip.tiff;};
  WMDrawer = {Icon = Drawer.tiff;};
  "*" = {Icon = defaultAppIcon.tiff;};
}

CMakeCache.txt
install_manifest.txt

Update: I figured out what was causing the problem. The local configuration file was overriding the one in /etc. When I also changed the relevant part of $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/WMWindowAttributes to:

 "*" = {
    Icon = defaultAppIcon.tiff;
  };

the menu was shown.
