SimpleIDE 1.1.1 run on CPU with previous SimpleIDE view properties settings may not allow view options

[dgately]

Built version 1.1.1 of SimpleIDE in Qt Creator on macOS (10.12.3 Sierra) with Qt 5.7. After launching (in Qt Creator Debugger or as release), and after checking the "View Mode" option checkbox in SimpleIDE Properties General TAB, Tools menu does not display view setting options. (i.e. I can't get into Project View, can't get all of the project view menu or toolbar options)...

Steps:

0. Run a previous version of SimpleIDE and set the View Mode General TAB property to un-checked, Quit
1. Fresh build/install of SimpleIDE 1.1.1
2. Launch the app
3. Check that you are in the Simple View (i.e. File menu options are limited, no Project Manager view is open, etc...)
4. Check Tools menu (should not see Simple/Project view options at this point)
5. In Properties under General TAB, check the View Mode checkbox and click OK
6. Re-check Tools menu (it does NOT display either "Set Simple View" or "Set Project view")
   

ERROR: Should display menu item for Setting view to Simple or Project view
NOTE: To reset and get correct results I had to run the app in Debug mode in Qt Creator to unlock these modes

Hi Dennis,
With SimpleIDE 1.1.0+, you have to reinstall the program for certain properties to remain persistent. Just building and running doesn't work. This is annoying, but without the underlying change, there are other significant issues.

Thanks for testing BTW.

I'll give that a try (running the package installer that gets built by the macpackage scripts).

Not confident that this is actually working correctly... I've rebuilt the app and built the install package with the package scripts on macOS. After a package install, I still see this issue where when I click the "View Mode" checkbox and then the OK button in Properties, there is no added Tools menu item for Set Project View or Set Simple View. I check the com.parallaxinc.SimpleIDE.plist and it shows the SimpleIDE_AllowProjectView property as a Number 1 (true value) and the SimpleIDE_SimpleViewType property as a Boolean YES (hmm, why is SimpleIDE_AllowProjectView a Number type and NOT Boolean?), but the menu to toggle between Simple & Project modes does not show up.
