[Lazarus] How to restore anchor docking manager in the IDE?
Hi, i just "ruined" layout of the anchor docking manager in the IDE. Reinstall the package does not restore the default layout and pulling for example object inspector does not help. I would expect the IDE would show where to place the object inspector by painting a frame where it would sit if i stop dragging?! Tipps are welcome ...

If your main problem is resetting messed up settings for anchordocking package, you can edit or delete the saved settings. Open environmentoptions.xml in your Lazarus profile folder (e.g. on Windows: c:\users\username\AppData\Local\lazarus), search for and either edit or delete the node (I didn't test this myself...). Alternatively delete the file, or the whole lazarus folder - but this will obviously delete a whole bunch of history and other settings too. This is for Lazarus 2.0.10, newer versions may be a bit different. -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

I can only fix/work on things, I'm aware about. Maybe you have disabled the option "Show headers". Only with this option enabled you can drag and drop the windows (click on header, hold header and move window).

I used anchordockingdsgn package for a long time and today i thought: what happens if i drag "project inspector" for example to another position ... bad idea(!!) Things got worse as i tried to restore the initial settings of this package. Reinstalled the package, read the wiki ... no success, but then with google i found the mentioned Lazarus forum thread: close all windows except source editor and then rearrange all windows. Would be usefull if there was something like restore default settings?! John -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

I used anchordockingdsgn package for a long time and today i thought: what happens if i drag "project inspector" for example to another position ... bad idea(!!) Things got worse as i tried to restore the initial settings of this package. Reinstalled the package, read the wiki ... no success, but then with google i found the mentioned Lazarus forum thread: close all windows except source editor and then rearrange all windows. I never use such a workaround to rearrange the windows. And thats IMO the problem. I know what I have to do to get my layout back, but I don't know what other people try to do. Would be usefull if there was something like restore default settings?! Yes, this seems a good idea! Can you make a bug report and assign it to me?!
