Where is Lazarus config

[lazarusprogrammer]

Hi, i've got this error " Anchor not found: Node='ComponentList' / Anchors[akTop]='AnchorDockSite7' "

I suppose i can fix this manually by editing config but i have no idea where to look at there is so many files.

Can you help me and guide me towards the file that holds this anchor/docking options.

This thread is marked as [SOLVED], probably you can find the answer there:

But indeed, it would be better if the path to the config file were visible somewhere in the Options window.

It wouldn't help much if path were visible somewhere in the Options window. because i can not start lazarus it shows this error message and doesn't matter what i click it does not load further.

Link to the topic you provide doesn't really help me so it's too early to call it [SOLVED]

What i am doing right now is opening every single file and searching for "site7" but can't find anything yet. So if anybody knows exact place where anchoring/docking settings are stored would be nice to hear.

Update: Right when i posted i found it. File is called "environmentoptions.xml". Now you can call it [SOLVED]

I would try in environmentoptions.xml

There is a section

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]

1.   <Desktops Count="..." ActiveDesktop="....">....

That is (at least one of / not sure of others) the place where layout is stored.

You may find the "ComponetList" in it. Or possibly the problem is its absence.


Can you make a copy/backup of the broken file please? And attach it to a bug report please.
