Title: Switched from 2 monitors to 1, no more Watches window
Post by: JakeLask on August 04, 2006, 01:44:39 am
I've gone from a dual monitor display back to a single. My watches window used to be on monitor 2 and now even if I switch which "monitor" windows is looking at, I can't find my watches window. Is there a way to reset the location of the watches window without wiping out all of my pref's ?

First, uncheck "Settings->Environment->View->Enhanced multi-monitor dialog placement"

Then, edit the "default.conf" file in your settings directory.

Run a search for "Watches" and scroll (right) to the floatx and floatx attributes.  Setting them both to 0 should work.

This is all just a guess, though, since I don't have multi-monitors.

[edit]
Actually, I don't know how the config setting works, so you may just be able to check/uncheck it to get the window back.

View->Layouts->Delete current.

This will delete all layout information and will revert back to defauls (layout only).

Forgot to mention I'm using a nightly build. Thanks for the ideas; neither worked. This build doesn't have a default.conf file and I went ahead and deleted the layouts and no dice.

Huh? Nightly builds either read your default.conf or create one. There is no way around it.....
Which nightly are you using?
