rename rc file as .old and try again. Gilles Caulier Tried your suggestion below of renaming digikamrc - didn't work. After renaming, I once again tried to edit digikamrc to indicate 'MenuBar=Enabled'. That did not work. Further, tried to set default height and width to: 900x1440 - Nope. I should not that I'm running this within VirtualBox with Guest Additions installed. Hum, Do you use AppImage 5.5.0 ? You set Kubuntu package as report property... Gilles Caulier I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 17.10, installed digikam 5.6.0 from the repository, but run 5.7.0 from appimage. The Menu bar is now gone (was there under 17.04) and I can't get it back. Tried the obvious things (ctlr-M, MenuBar=Enabled, kxmlgui/digikam), but none worked. I am surprised that this problem is around for about 10 years. Pls advise, Theo This problem rely on KF5::KXMLGUI framework which make GUI based on XML description. If a standard comment is set in XML data, this break the XML parsing. Do not ask me why. We pass a lots of time to discover this dysfunction. The solution is included in next 5.8.0 preversion available as AppImage here : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWelRJenM It's possible that the copy of menus description is corrupted in your home directory, where is stored the menu/toolbar customizations. Look on this path : ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/digikam/ Files are *.rc. Gilles Caulier Maik, I'm right with my previous comment ? Gilles As I hinted, I had ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/digikam/ recreated, without luck. And sorry to say, the 5.8.0 appimage does not solve the problem either. Theo Strangely the file digikamui.rc is not recreated (absent) in kxmlgui5. Theo If no customization are done, the default one is used. Gilles Caulier If I remember rightly, it is a problem with Unity under Ubuntu. Unity is dead, the next version will be back to GNOME3. There is a compatible startup option for the menubar on Unity. I'll look for them. Maik It's gnome now with 17.10. Indeed, Unity is dead. I have installed Ubuntu 17.10 for testing in a virtual machine. I can not find any problem with the official package digiKam-5.6.0 as well as with the current AppImage. The menu bar is available and can be activated or deactivated normally via the GUI, CTRL-M also works. Maik Maik, Thanks for taking the trouble. I run 5.8.0 now from the appimage. You and Gilles got me on 5.7.0 because of previous problems, and on 5.8.0 on this one. Ctrl-M does not work here. How do I get it working from the gui without having a menu bar? Having said that, in 5.7.0 hitting control-M twice (!) does the job. Feels a lot better. Thanks a lot, if further problems I'll keep you posted. Theo The ultimate solution would be to kill the feature to turn on/off the menu bar when we are not in full screen. This feature is not implemented in DK, but in KXMLGUI framework as well. I remember a lots of dysfunctions about the "lost menu bar". Typically, as it's said in this report, DK is not suitable without a menu bar. We always need it, outside the full screen mode of course. Gilles I totally agree. For now I'm happy. Thanks you all for maintaining a fantastic program.
