Dock position lost on restart

Question

Hi,

Each time I start yEd, it remembers the windows that were docked when I closed the application, but these docks are not where I moved them.

What can I do so yEd remembers where I put the docked windows?

yEd 3.12.2, Java 1.7.0_55

Here are screenshots of yEd before closing and after restarting.

Could you add two screenshots (one showing the docked components at the desired location and one showing the locations after restarting yEd) illustrating the problem?

As requested, I have just added a link to screenshots.

Answer 1

Thanks for posting; this is also happening to me.

Edit: If it's useful, I was coming from v3.10.

I've found that deleting all my user prefs did the trick.

Also reproducible in 3.14. I'm about to get the latest version (3.14.2 at this time) and try again.

Update: ...Not fixed in 3.14.2. Arranged my docked dialogs as I want them and closed 3.14. Updated program (running standalone JAR on Windows) and reopened, dialogs are all dumped into a tabbed panel on the left side instead of how I left them. (Not 'Structure View' though...). Re-arranged and closed and re-opened again, and everything is once again piled up over on the left.

Now trying the 'delete user prefs' suggestion from the 05/27 comment.

Update update: Well there's no option in the UI called 'Delete Preferences' or any variation thereupon, but I tried 'Reset Layout' from the Windows menu, then recreated my desired layout, then restarted. It was discarded again. Also tried deleting "yed-3_5.layout" from my %AppData%\Roaming\yWorks\yEd, and even deleting everything from ...\yEd\, both to no avail.

No luck in 3.14.3 either. I wonder why it's working for everyone but us?

Answer 3

Fixed as of yEd 3.20.1.
