How to return the full Xcode 4 interface?

Question

This is madness! I opened two separate editor windows by double-clicking in the file navigator. Then I closed Xcode.

Now, every time I open my project, Xcode completely disappears. All I get are two separate editor windows. I tried everything to return Xcode, but when I open this particular project, there is no Xcode interface - only two lightweight editor windows.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there anything else I can do besides creating a clean new project from scratch and copying everything?

Answer 1

In Xcode 4. there is no such thing as a "lightweight editor window." What you see is a window in which there is a toolbar, a tab bar, a navigation bar and all hidden utilities. You can show them again in the "View" menu.

To return everything:

• Show → Show Toolbar
• Show-> Show Tab Bar
• View-> Navigators-> Show Navigator
• View-> Utilities-> Show Utilities

The last two can also be done using the buttons on the toolbar.

Depending on what you expect from the window, you may also need View-> Debug Area-> Show Debug Area.

Answer 2

Select one of these editor windows, and then go to the View → Show Toolbar menu. The rest of your interface.

Answer 3

Try to enter the menu and select "Navigation" and "Open in the project navigator"

Answer 4

With the project open, choose View > Show Toolbar .
