Menu Lost - Prusa Slicer
I searched on this forum and by Google re: steps to recover the menu list on the left. One suggested I press Shift/Tab but that didn't fix it. Another post was all in German. I was playing around with an .stl in Platter when suddenly all the icons went grey along the left. Then they completely disappeared. Windows has that problem with the ribbon. It's easy to press the wrong key inadvertently and have the ribbon disappear. How might I reinstate that menu with Rotate, Scale,etc. ?
Thank you.

Does this help?: Configuration > Preferences > GUI tab and then activate the checkbox "Show sidebar collapse/expand button", see screenshot. Click on the image to see it without cropping.
RE: Menu Lost - Prusa Slicer
Walter - That worked perfectly. Any idea how I might have inadvertently toggled that function off?
I like having it on all the time so I didn't do that intentionally.
A lot of people turn the redlining on in MS Word inadvertently.
Thank you so very much for both your help and quick reply.

Look in the View menu, there is a shortcut listed for this: Shift+Tab
RE: Menu Lost - Prusa Slicer
Hi Walter...Now that Slice Now button on the bottom right is missing. I read Forum posts and Google and it said to ensure the Background Processing is not checked so in the Config > General uncheck the chechmark but it is not checked. Another post advised I toggle between the 1 box on the bottom left (3D Preview) but if I press that or press it again I never get that Slice Now button back. Thank you.
RE: Menu Lost - Prusa Slicer
quick follow up - Experimenting I see you have to expand the Sidebar with the double arrows in the upper left.
Thank you.
RE: Menu Lost - Prusa Slicer
After disabling the Background Processing and confirming the setting, you have to quit PrusaSlicer and start it again. Then you'll have the Button to start slicing on the bottom right. But I really don't see why one would like to have that, perhaps except on a very slow computer.

Walter - that's what we have at this small library - very old, slow PCs. 🙂
Thank you.
RE: Menu Lost - Prusa Slicer
Walter - Thank you! Ill give that a try.
Neophyle - Thank you for sharing that link. I've downloaded it and will print and refer to it.
RE: Menu Lost - Prusa Slicer
Quick Follow - a month later (today) I imported an 3mf file and chose Rotate to place it flat on the bed for better printing. I got the object laying flat but that left Menu disappeared again. I did nothing but rotate the object to place it flat on the bed. I visited Configuration > Preferences > GUI tab and there is a check mark next to "Show sidebar collapse/expand button". I also un-checked it and re-checked it but that Menu doesn't reappear.
Also, is there a way to make sure this never happens again? Can I "lock" settings in the Prusa Slicer?
Thank you.
RE: Menu Lost - Prusa Slicer
Does pressing "Shift+TAB" at the same time work?
I don't know if this can be locked. Also, if that is the same problem as before, the menu is on the right side of my screen, so it is a little confusing when you mention a "left menu".
RE: Menu Lost - Prusa Slicer
Odd. I had to click on the object 2x on the work plane and then press the single empty box in the lower left corner and then it would return whatever that m ecu is called along the left with Rotate, Lay Flat on its face, etc.
Thank you.
