  • Inspector,file browser & library disappeared

    Posted by Kevin Collar on March 20, 2008 at 4:39 am

    While working in Motion my inspector, file browser and library have suddenly disappeared and I am unable to retrieve them. Does anybody have a solution. Restarting mac and opening a new project have not helped.
    I am using Mac OS X vers10.4.11 and Motion 3.0.2

    Howdy,

    This is a problem that a bunch of people have encountered. Just trash your prefs and that window will reappear on next launch. The Motion prefs are at:

    YourUserHomeFolder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.motion.plist

    Wow, thank you very much. I encountered the same issue…all fixed now.

    What preferences does that file store?

    Everything from the File > Preferences menu.
