Missing menus

[Gilles Caulier-4]

yes digikamui.rc file is one for digiKam main menu description.

You problem is in image editor. File is imageeditorui.rc. There is one also for lighttable, BQM, and import tool.

2017-02-18 19:33 GMT+01:00 Derek Keats <[hidden email]>:

And one of those files, is it not supposed to be digikam.rc ???

All the info I can find mentions that file, but it is not there, it is not created. 

I managed to get Kubuntu going but it is wonky in a VM, so not much news there.

Really. With AppImage 5.5.0 pre release too ? Impossible... The account store digiKam GUI menu structure into the hidden subfolder, as .rc file. If there is no one, the default one from application is used, else both are merged... And here, the default one work as expected...

I suspect that a merge between default and local rc file generate a corrupted XML file (yes GUI menu is managed with XML in background)...

Yes,  I figured, but it doesn't solve the problem. Unfortunately, Kubuntu will not install in a VM so I can't test with that.  Any other ideas?

I renamed ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5 and ~/.local/share/digikam and moved them outside .local. It does not solve the problem. When I started digikam 5.5 the folders came back, and 

  ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/digikam

has the following files: 

kipiplugin_dropboxui.rc

kipiplugin_facebookui.rc

kipiplugin_flickrui.rc

kipiplugin_jalbumui.rc

kipiplugin_printimagesui.rc

kipiplugin_sendimagesui.rc

kipiplugin_wikimediaui.rc

There is no digikam.rc there.

Setting up a Kubuntu VM now to test there.

So, those files are not being created? And that is the problem I assume. But why would they not be created?

That is the key to solving it.

Yes, SHOULD! :)

But it seems like there might be an XML file that is supposed to be created that is not being created. All that is needed is to figure out why!

OK, so I have installed from the appimage on a completely clean Ubuntu 16.10 and I get the same effect.

I am not sure what else I can do. I love Digikam, it is the only tool I use, and want to get it working but I've been at it all day and I can't fix it. I hate the thought of giving up on it though. There must be a way to find out why it is not working.

I think I was right asking

You open the showfoto windows (the editor), and the menu bar, the one
with "file edit" *on the main digikam windows* don't show.
It's not the showfoto menubar that you circled in red.

As far as I see in your images, showfoto menu bar do not show at any time

What I see is the black title bar, with title and closing x, and the
toolbar, the one with "close editor"

there should be a menubar between these two

May be I see something.

In normal kde, the menubar is always between the title bar and the tool
bar, but in yours distro you use Unity, not kde, and there the menu bar
is moved on the top of the screen.

But digikam/shofoto have *two* menubars, one each, may be this disturb unity

look at my screen, on the right showfoto, the titlebar is black (the
windows have the focus), on left the digikam main windows, the titlebar
is white (do not have the focus). The two of them have menu bars

I guess most here use plain kde, that's why we don't see your problem.

Unfortunately there is no 'show menu bar' option

Options are 

Fullscreen mode

Back 

Forward

Slideshow

Rotate left

Rotate right

Crop to selection

Move to trash

Open with

Assign Tag

Remove Tag

Assign labels

But please don't jump out the window ( unless you are on the ground floor :P ), this must work. It will work.

[Derek Keats]

As a last last resort, I went back to Digikam version 4.14.22 from the ubuntu repositories. This doesn't have this "disappearing menubar bug", so I can edit my photos meanwhile. I have a VM set up with both 5.4 from the PPA and 5.5 Appimage, and hopefully we can find a way to get the 5.4 / 5.5 working properly. Hence, if there are any more suggestions, I am happy to test them in the VM. 

thanks everyone for trying.

Regards

Derek

As a last resort, I tried copying your files into the same directory on my machine, but still no menubar.

thanks for trying though.
