3.2. Tool options dialog is missing

Figure 4.9. Restore missing tool options dialog

Restore missing tool options dialog using the Add Tab menu item.

The Tool Options Dialog can get closed by accident. To get it back click on the little triangle on the top right of the dock. This opens a menu.

From that menu choose Add Tab and then Tool Options.

You can also use Windows → Dockable Dialogs → Tool Options. In this case, the dialog may turn up in a different dock than the one you want. If that happens, grab the tab that says Tool Options and drag it to where you need it.

	Note
	To make sure that this or any other dialog doesn’t get moved or closed by accident, you can lock it to the dock it is in. To enable this, click on the little triangle on the top right of the dock. This open a menu where you should choose Lock Tab to Dock (unless it is already checked).
