Couple of hidden windows

[w9nwrwi]

Using Ver. 3.1.4.123.  Been fooling around with XP11 Beta 2 , Plan-g and 4 monitors.   Some of the Plan-G windows have been hiding themselves behind ( I think) the main Plan-G window.
Those windows are Plan, and Radios. We used to be able just delete the User.cfg file and start over but I do not seem to be able to find that file.

So, what is our procedure these days to reset and have the two missing windows come back into view when selected?

Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Chuck,
Staying warm?  :o (if still in WI) UGGH!

Either 1, delete this file and restart Plan-G -
C:\Users\<me>\AppData\Local\TA_Software\Plan-G3.exe_<magic Number>\<version number>\user.config
Or 2, if comfortable editing XML, open the same file above and modify the following sections as such, then restart Plan-G -

Code Select Expand


<setting name="PlanWindowPosition" serializeAs="String">
    <value>0,0</value>
</setting>

<setting name="RadioWindowPosition" serializeAs="String">
     <value>0,0</value>
</setting>

Setting the values to 0,0 will put the windows in the top left corner of your primary monitor.

Hello Spokes,
Yep still in Wisconsin, where its a balmy -10F this AM and just got done with a nice round of snow. Bright and sunny, all that white snow looks so nice, then the snowplow comes through and piles it all up in your driveway. Out comes the snow-thrower again and you get to start all over. :o  But, it is Wisconsin and we deal with it.

Thanks for the procedure on the window reset, printed it out this time and will file for future reference.  That one is really buried down there.

Chuck,


Same here! Up in Green Bay. This is brutal!

Well you could poke around in the config file, but

Options -> General -> Reset Tool Windows

is a lot easier  :)

Well I'll be!!  I didn't even know that was there. All my poking around the manual, searching the forum, and there it is right in front of me. Thanks for the guidance Tim, I did the .CFG thing, but will use the correct way in the future.

Spokes;  We are darn near neighbors.............Appleton..............

Tim,
I forgot about that too - oops! (newest version)  :o  Just used to doing it "old style" as I run the XP version on the networked laptop and don't like going through all the settings, specially mapbox, after a reset. I just try to  fix the problem as it exists - to each their own methods.

Happy holidays to all.
