Where is my menu (in 15.2): Show system output
« on: April 14, 2021, 11:39:31 pm »
I can't get my head around enough. Where did they hide the window selection? This is soooo frustrating. I can't imagine what average EA users will think of this hide and seek (though they probably have less interest in that special window).

Found it under, oh gone again. Well, I'll find it again. It would be funny. But actually it isn't.

You can also find it under Start > Desktop > Design > Explore, or by pressing Ctrl+Shift+8.

I don't think I need a keyboard shortcut since window layout is rather stable over time. Anyhow, thanks for the links.

I can never find the Portals menu item so I Google the keyboard shortcut :-)

I'm not sure what you mean by the 'Portals menu item' - are you looking for something that displays the Portals or for something accessed from a menu within the Portals?

There are so many ways to access the Portals, but the most obvious way is through the Portals icon at the left of every ribbon.

Roy, it may seem pretty obvious to you. But every one changing from any version has to find a way through a new menu maze. This is pretty anoying (and in most cases pointless since the new menu isn't easier to navigate compared to its siblings). I wonder who at Sparx thinks about average stakeholders that went through a (from their perspective anoying) course to learn EA and with the next version they have to learn it all anew.
