XDK for linux has no properties panel

Hi, 

The last version of XDK (1995) for Linux has a problem, it doesn't show the "properties" section on the right side of the IDE. I thought at first it was a misconfiguration, but I have just installed XDK on my MAC and everything is normal. 

Would you let me know if this is a already know issue, and, either way, whats the plan to get that fixed? 

Thank you very much, 
Gustavo

The properties panel is only visible in the Design view, not the Code view. And only project that elect "App Designer" get those choices.


When you are in Design view, on the left of that view is a thin column of panel names, sideways. You'll see Pages, Themes, Styles, Properties and several others.  Make sure Properties is selected.  You can toggle it if you want to help see it.  Click the [...] at the bottom to pull up a menu of more panes of any that don't fit in that side control.

The panes are re-orderable, so it's possible that you moved it to a different sidebar, and can be removed from the sidebars by the control I just mentioned. My guess is that is either hidden or moved.

Gustavo,

Are you referring to the settings section on the right that shows when you have the Emulate tab open? If so, when it is closed you will only see an arrow located on the upper right under the person (the "Account" icon) - see the images. Pressing the arrow will open the tabs section on the right of the IDE.

If that is not what you are referring to, please clarify.

Hi Pamela,

Thank for for your reply, but the point was covered by Chris.

Hi Chris,

Thank you very much for that. I am not sure what was the intention, but in my opinion the "properties section" should always be visible on the right panel.
