v0.11 Linux installation missing menu options #740

Closed bgalport closed 4 months ago

bgalport commented 4 months ago

Just installed the latest version (0.11) on Ubuntu 24.04 and find that the only the Basic menu option is displayed. The Bit, Logic and other options I see on web examples are missing. I've tried loading other collections but nothing changes. I am able to load all the example files. Have I missed something?

how are you trying to load other collections?

bgalport commented 4 months ago

Hi @cavearr, I used the Tools->Collections->Add option to add Collection-Jedi. Even the default collection should have included logic blocks shouldn't it?

Ok! you installed it correctly. In the new Icestudio versions like yours, the collection management change a little.

When you select in this menu option, you load the examples and you could load from: File->Examples

Then ,to use the blocks in your own designs, you should open the "collection manager" to do it, go to the left limit of the window until a hidden menu appears and click to the first blue lego block:

This action, opens a new window, with yout installed collections:

Captura de pantalla 2024-05-14 a las 19 01 18

if only appears de default collection, close this window, close icestudio and reopen it (depends of your hardware icestudio could need time to index your collections).

I hope this could be helpful for you.

Thank you! I would never have thought of looking there. I can now see all the available blocks. Strange that they left just Basic on the menu bar.
