Same as Bug 150192 and Bug 148750. According to HIG [1], it is not recommended to make menubar hideable . [1] - http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/Menu_Bar *** Bug 343998 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 336120 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Dolphin puts a "Control" button-menu in the toolbar when the menubar is hidden, which includes an item to show the menubar again. Gwenview should probably do the same. In fact, probably we should have a standard KDE-wide method of doing this. Git commit b0220c132e0381e41a2daf7796fa72cf2182e0bb by Nathaniel Graham, on behalf of Luca Sartorelli. Committed on 26/09/2018 at 22:50. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Remainder dialog for re-enabling the menubar once hidden Summary: BUG: 210620 Reviewers: #vdg, ngraham, #gwenview Reviewed By: #vdg, ngraham, #gwenview Subscribers: muhlenpfordt Tags: #gwenview Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D15747 M +6 -0 app/mainwindow.cpp https://commits.kde.org/gwenview/b0220c132e0381e41a2daf7796fa72cf2182e0bb Started to post a new bug, but later found this one. So posting here as a me too, rather than a new bug. SUMMARY There's no way to get the menu bar back once gone. STEPS TO REPRODUCE I think it went like this right click somewhere > hide menu tried right clicking in several spots, tried `ctrl+m`, etc... nothing got the menu back. :( OBSERVED RESULT Menu bar gone, no way to get back. I've even tried `Ctrl+m`, another website suggested(even if this were to work it should be more obvious than this). Tried mv ~/.kde/share/apps/gwenview/gwenviewui.rc ~/.kde/share/apps/gwenview/~gwenviewui.rc~ But the menu is still missing... :( EXPECTED RESULT There be an obvious way to get the menu bar back. (Next best thing: It would be better NOT to have a way to hide the menu bar, than to be able to be able to hide it with no way of getting it back) p.s. Now, How to get the menu back? SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Debian 10.x stable Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: Found in kate... KDE Frameworks Version: "5.54.0" Qt Version: "5.11.3 (built against 5.11.3)" gwenview --version gwenview 18.04.0 Ctrl+M works for me with with 20.08.1 Ok editing the first file didn't work for me, but editing ~/.config/gwenviewrc got the menu back! Exit all gwenview windows. Edit ~/.config/gwenviewrc by changing 'MenuBar' to 'Enabled', aka 'MenuBar=Enabled'. Save and close file. Then restart gwenview, and the menu will be back. (`ctrl+m` still doesn't work for me) This has been fixed in a better way with the adoption of KHamburgerMenu in Gwenview 21.08. Now, when the menubar is hidden, a hamburger menu will appear on the right side of the toolbar which peovides all the functionality of the full menu bar, but re-arranged for greater user-friendlines-- Just like Dolphin does it. An action to show the menu bar again is present in Hamburger Menu > For X more actions > Show Menubar. |
