Title: I seem to have 'lost' the File Explorer tab.
Post by: pramsay1 on 2019 December 08 17:28:26

I seem to have 'lost' the File Explorer tab.
It was there and working, but I must have done something to lose, move, or erase it somehow.

Doing a reinstall to get it back seems like overkill.
Is it possible to reload it somehow?

Thanks in advance!

if you right-click in the drawer where the different explorers live, somewhere toward the middle of the screen, can you choose the file explorer from the pop-up menu that appears?

Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, it appears to be missing.
If I right-click, it's not there either.

Any other suggestions?
I could re-install, but that seems a bit extreme.

On the top tool bar Click on view, then click on Explorer windows, then click on File Explorer. It's on the bottom of the list.

Good luck!

Thanks - that worked!

I knew it was hiding in plain sight - it seems like everything in PixInsight has at least three options for selection!

Thanks SO much for the clue!
