Settings menu is missing on 17.04

[choman]

On my ubuntu 17.04 system, I was following the directions to relocate the papers folder. They point to a settings menu which doers not exist. And before you ask my menu are configured to be seen on the windows (not the global bar)

Thanks

1) Are you using Unity or Gnome ? 2) How did you change this setting ?

[choman]

I wasn't able ot relocate the directory because there is no menu. I did see a location field in the paperwork.conf but it appears encoded

I am on unity until 17.10

[choman]

Update: I encoded base64 the new located and put that in the paperwork.conf, now my stuff can live and be shared in dropbox.

Still an issue, but my immediate problem is resolved

I've tested on a fresh install of Ubuntu 17.04, and it's working. As expected in Unity, the application menu is at the top of the screen.

[jflesch]

I assume the menu is not appearing at all on your system ?

[choman]

correct, it is not there

[jflesch]

Can you provide a screenshot please ? I would like to see exactly what's there and what isn't

@jflesch same issue for me on Fedora 26. I have done a fresh install using pip into a virtualenv. Here is a screenshot of the application, as you can see settings icon is missing.

[jflesch]

Which window manager do you use ?

[uggla]

Gnome 3. Sorry, In fact I expected the settings to be in the application's menubar. (confused by doc screenshot) This is available in the Gnome top bar like in the following screenshot.

So this is working in my case. Anyway thanks for your great work !

The lack of icon is weird however. Did you run paperwork-shell install ? oO

[uggla]

No I didn't. However I have just run it and it doesn't change the gui. But I'm in a virtualenv so maybe it could have an impact by using an improper path ? Following lines show the output of paperwork-shell install

Ah if you're in a virtualenv then nevermind. It's the expected behavior I guess.

[choman]

Here is my screenshot for the original issue, sorry it took a while to post

I am not in a virtual environment and I do not use global menus

[choman]

Oops, didn't mean to close. Sorry

[jflesch]

No problem

[jflesch]

@choman : Can you try uninstalling Paperwork and installing it back but using Flatpak this time please ? It would show us whether it's a dependency problem or not. (Flatpak package includes all dependencies)

[jflesch]

ping ?
