Missing tabs in the Customise Dialogue box

[OpusCroakus]

Whilst trying to customise my menus, toolbars, and workspace, I was digging around in the files for my new PSP 2019 Ultimate, and realised that my Customise Dialogue Box is supposed to have various tabs within it, but in mine, they seem to be missing. I've looked all over Google and this place and there has been nothing mentioned about this as a general problem for anyone. I found one similar issue listed here, but when the person offering the answer posted a screencap of his box to demonstrate the answer, his also had tabs that mine just doesn't have.

Can someone help me with this, please?

Also, whilst moving options from the main menu to another menu/toolbar, I seem to have lost my "Save to Alpha Channel" and "Load from Alpha Channel" options. When moving them down they disappeared from the main menu and I can't locate them anywhere I moved them to.

Thanks so much for any help I can get!

Hi Opus and welcome to the forum.

It sounds like you are in the Essentials workspace. Go to File - > Workspace -> Complete and your Customize dialog box should have all the appropriate tabs.

As for your missing menu items, once you have switched to the complete workspace, use the customize function to restore the menu item. You will find it under All Commands on the Command tab. See below. Just drag it to where you want it.

Hi, Kathy,

Y'know, it wasn't listed as a separate issue, but after posting this I was nosing around other replies, and there right in front of me was a reply posted by you, actually, that mentioned this very fix. The guy didn't post with this issue but then suddenly part-way down his statement, he also suddenly listed this as an issue, so thank-you for your first reply!

And yes, after changing the Workspace view, I was able to restore my options. In a different reply, someone suggested that when moving menu commands to toolbars that you should hold down the Ctrl key as you drag them, but that didn't seem to cause them to copy rather than move. Maybe someone knows how that works and can offer a reply on that.

But anyway, yes, that was the issue. And while I didn't see it listed as its own topic, I read someone's statement that because of Corel's oversight in setting "Essentials" as the default, it's now causing a lot of forum postings needing help with this very issue. Hopefully they'll change this in future because I see no logical reason for introducing an entirely new product and then immediately limiting its use, essentially tying the hands of those who purchased it!

I appreciate the help SO much, and thank-you!

That method works for me.
