Rhino Script Editor does not open

ralph_schoeneberg · August 10, 2022, 8:25am

Both the Rihno Scipt Editor and the Python Editor do not open
Rhino 8 Version (8.0.22214.12305, 2022-08-02) (they work fine with Rhino 7)
this is what i tried so far:
I reinstalled Rhino 8
i deleted all files under C:\Users%myusername%\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\8.0 - they have been recreated and set to default
I did not install a different IronPython
RhinoCode does work as expected
what else can i do to make it work?

Hi Ralph -

That seems to be working fine here.

A new version was released yesterday. Could you please update to that version and try again?

Hello Wim
New Version 8.0.22221.12305, 2022-08-09 - still not working.

Thanks for checking that, Ralph.
Could you try a “Repair” of the Rhino installation from the Windows Control Panel?
(Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features)

Did not help, thank you for looking into it, i have two Monitors, but the editor windows do not appear at any of it, although, is there a way to reset the window position, just a thought, maybe its set to something strange?

wim · August 10, 2022, 11:05am

I suppose it’s worth a try. There is the testResetWindowPositions command that would do that.

hm - did not help.

it works if i set my Windows 10 language from german to english

wim · October 4, 2022, 10:14am

Hi Ralph -
Thanks for that additional information.
Are you also running Rhino in German, or is that set to English?

Riccardo (@mix_experience) , are you running Windows and/or Rhino in Italian?
-wim

ralph_schoeneberg · October 4, 2022, 10:26am

I run Rhino in English, but changing to German does not change anything in that respect

mix_experience · October 5, 2022, 5:57am

I run Rhino in English and win 11

Alain · October 5, 2022, 4:30pm

@mix_experience , you run Rhino in English but is your operating system (win 11) also in English?
I don’t know if that makes a difference. I’m just trying to find a pattern.

mix_experience · October 6, 2022, 6:26am

win11 in italian
