Navigation Tree

Post by Ronster »

Somehow I managed to hide my Navigation Tree and cannot get it back. The Navigation is check marked in the menu; but still does not show in the window. I am currently running the latest version. Thanks in advance.

OK I had to completely uninstall MM EX; run a registry clean up. Re-install and the Navigation Tree is now visible again.

You should not need to have to resort to a re-install. As Renato pointed out you should be able to re-enable from "View / Navigation". It works fine for me on MacOS and Win 10.

I agree. I did not think I would have to either; but that is what it took to correct the issue. No worries, it's working now and I love using the program. it is a great tool. Thanks for the product and support.

So did View / Navigation not toggle the navigation bar? Did it do nothing at all? Did the tick appear/disappear on the menu item when you toggled?

The checkmark appeared and re-appreared when clickking; but the pane never came up. I check bot the left and right side of the main window as suggested also in this thread and it was not there to slide.

Does the enable/disable navigation pane work now you have re-installed? If you want to risk disabling again of course :D

Yes it did - but you didn't notice it.

Take a look at the two full-screen screenshots attached.

One has View | Navigation unticked, so the Navigation pane is not displayed.

The other has View | Navigation ticked, so the Navigation pane is displayed.

Can you see it? Look very carefully!

Did you see the Navigation pane window in the post above?

Look very carefully at the bottom of the screen.

See that little grey line? It's the top of the Nav window! I had to auto-hide the taskbar to find it.

In the screenshot attached to this message, I've dragged the Nav window upwards a little.

Without realising @Ronster, you accidentally dragged the title bar of the Nav pane and undocked it from the MMEX main window. You dragged it (almost) off the screen, probably like I did underneath the task bar. But I'd guess that you don't auto-hide your taskbar, so couldn't see it.

There is no bug. The wxWidgets docking framework is behaving as intended. It's just unfortunate that you hid the Nav window beneath the taskbar.

I am missing a reset option for the views ;)

But thanks for pointing out that you can also move the navigation to another screen.
That gives a whole new set of display options, for example accounting on a portrait screen and navigation on the left on the 4K screen. :arrow: :idea:

I have encountered the same problem of detaching the Navigation Tree window and moving my Navigation Tree off the screen and cannot recover it. I am running 1.5.3 64 bit on Windows 10 with only one monitor. I tried to recover the Navigation Tree by uninstalling MMEX, manually deleting all the MMEX registry keys by searching the registry for the string "mmex" and manually deleting all the keys found by the search, restarting the PC and reinstalling 1.5.3 64 bit but the Navigation Tree is still gone and attempts to toggle it on via the View menu do not seem to do anything. The loss of the Navigation Tree means I cannot get to the built-in reports via the Reports node on the Navigation Tree and I do not see any other way to access them. I can live without the Navigation Tree but need some way to access the built-in reports. Any suggestions ?

You can solve the problem, for this you need to delete mmexini.db3, it contains the settings but no data.

Hint noted. Raised a request on Github and will see what we can do. :)

What is the reset option for the Navigation bar having disappeared to another screen to bring it back to the main one, as I use MMEX on a laptop when travelling and 3 monitors at home, and both have different views now? Thanks!

Re: View: Navigation

Post by tycariadus »

I believe I have asked about this before but not sure I got a response from anyone in the community?

Somehow I have detached "View/Navigation" from the main screen meaning i just have the account list with the light blue font (which btw is impossible to read) and because it is difficult to read makes the whole experience really difficult especially on a single laptop screen when travelling.

Please can someone explain how to bring back Navigation into the main screen and not appear as another window (which I don't have on the laptop / surface pro)?

Many thanks

If you read through the articles below, you will find various possibilities.
For example:
a) You can solve the problem, for this you have to delete mmexini.db3, it contains the settings but no data.
b) reactivate the navigation under View
c) drag the mouse to the desired location until a gray area appears
