@peternlewis I know this is going to be a frustrating post to read, because I can’t tell you how it happened, nor can I really tell you with absolute certainty how I fixed it. But I’ll tell you what I remember:
Don’t know if this is related, but Chrome wouldn’t shut down. After some reboots, I uninstalled Chrome. (I reinstalled it after I fixed by palette issue, below.)
Somewhere during this debacle, before I uninstalled Chrome, suddenly none of my macro palettes would show. I even ran ComplexPoint’s plugin to find the palette positions, and it couldn’t find any of them, so I doubt they were “off the screen” or something like that.
As I said, I tried everything I could think of. Toggling them using a myriad of methods, using “show under mouse”, etc. They just wouldn’t show up.
Eventually, I restored my KM user preferences and Application Support files. Still nothing… but I went through the steps to show and hide them, and suddenly they were back! I had to force each separate macro palette to be visible, but they all came back.
So everything’s OK now, but I haven’t the faintest idea of what happened.
If this ever happens in the future, what do you need from me before I try to fix it? I figure you’ll want some files, logs, etc. Just let me know.
Sorry I don’t know more than this. I’m a crappy user, I know.
PS: Thank God I started using Time Machine to do hourly backups!
