Panel outside of TVPaint window?

Post by Lukas »

What do I do when a custom panel is out of reach? I can see the buttons, but the panel titel (which you can click and drag around) is just outside of the TVPaint window. I can't close it, and there's no 'reset workspace' kind of button anywhere.

(BTW, about the forums, I'm trying to find if this is a already discussed problem, which I'm sure it is, I've had this problem before in older versions. But I always get this message: "Sorry but you cannot use search at this time. Please try again in a few minutes." So it's really hard to search for things...)

Hello Lukas,

I advise you to Reset your Configuration
To do that, you have to go on Edit>Preferences>Startup and choose "Open Startup Panel"
Close your TVPaint and open it again.
In the Startup Panel, you have just to click on "Delete" to reset the Configuration of your TVPaint and you can click on OK to launch TVPaint Animation 10 normaly.
After this operation, TVPaint will open as before with a new Configuration.

BTW, could you tell me how you arrive to this desagrement?

Thanks Léo :)

Not exactly sure how I got it this way, I think it happened when I unplugged a monitor or something...

Hmmm, I was sure this behavior was corrected. Looks like we have to re-do this and avoid any possibility to hide the panel like you did.

When it's a custom panel (like the sketch panel), you can make a right click and duplicate this panel and destroy the out of reach version.
But you can't do this with the main panel, color panel or tool panel =/

Unfortunately, at the moment you only have the solution to reset your configuration, just as Léo explained you. But be careful, it will completely reset your configuration, so you will have an interface just like if you were running TVPaint for the first time !

Hello Elodie, I think it has something to do with the fact my 64 bit version and 32 bit version share the same configuration folder (so I always have all the tools and shortcuts the same for both versions).

It's possible that the bug was withdraw on the 32 bit version but still exists in the 64 bit version.
