Windowing System

(Redirected from Windows)

[edit] SQLbrowser has several windows which can be re-arranged in many ways

There is the center region plus 3 other regions (West, South and East) where you can place windows
You can also minimize Windows in the West, South and East 'Gutters'
Watch this Animation to see how to minimze and move windows
If a Window is inadvertantly closed, you can resurrect it through the 'Window' Menu

If your windows don't appear the way you expect (this may happen after a release), or if you play around with multiple displays and change the primary/secondary screens, the system may store windows coordinates which are totally out of the visible area.

To solve the issue, do either of the following in this order

- Click on the 'Window/Reset Windows' menu item
- Quit SQLBrowser, goto the 'user directory' (see SQLBrowser Directories), and delete the config/Windows2Local directory
- If the windows which does not show is the Options Window for instance, go to the 'user directory' and delete config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\options. The options panel coordinates are stored in this file rather than in the Windows2Local directory mentionned in the point before
