Re: How to keep perspective from reopening?

[Doug Davie <dougdavie@xxxxxxxxx>]

Your notes indicate that you did a reinstall of RDi.
I suspect you didn't reinstall the RSE plugin.
Please examine your RDi install location
(seen by right clicking the icon you use to start RDi and select properties)
It's the location where the eclipse.exe is located.
Navigate to that location with Windows Explorer.
You'll see folders such as:  bin, configuration, features, etc, as well as
that eclipse.exe.
Do you have a 'dropins' folder? or a 'links' folder in this location?
Is there a com.softlanding.rse.extensions.link file within?

If no dropins folder, create it.  (all lowercase)
If no .link file, copy it:
In another windows explorer window, navigate to where you have the RSE
plugins installed.
Usually C:\Program Files (x86)\SoftLanding\RSE Extensions
Here you'll find the com.softlanding.rse.extensions.link file

Probably best to do this with RDi closed.
Then restart with the -clean option.
