Describe the issue

The following non-exhaustive list of buttons do absolutely nothing.

---

File
-> Check for updates...

---

Help
-> Keyboard Shortcuts
-> Share Debug Info

---

Commit right click
-> Uncommit
-> Edit commit message
-> Edit commit

The first one at least has a log:

Some other logs from before, perhaps related or about different actions, not sure:

Thanks a lot for reporting!

I could reproduce the following ineffective buttons:

• File -> Check for Updates…
  • Even while an update was definitely available, it didn't show anything, also nothing in the logs
• Help
  • Share Debug Info
  • Keyboard Shortcuts

However, the right-click menu functions all worked for me, so I'd think these are related to the now more common "Access Denied" errors we have been seeing on Windows. In these cases, I'd expect an error to popup though.

Let me CC @mtsgrd who might know what to do.

[ofek]

Is there any workaround I might try?

[Byron]

May I assume that you are looking for a list of keyboard shortcuts? If so, this might help.

gitbutler/apps/desktop/src/lib/utils/hotkeys.ts

Lines 7 to 59 in e7721b4

	export const shortcuts = {
	global: {
	open_repository: {
	title: 'Add local repository…',
	keys: '$mod+O',
	description: null
	},
	clone_repository: {
	title: 'Clone repository',
	keys: '$mod+Shift+O',
	description: null
	}
	},
	view: {
	switch_theme: {
	title: 'Switch theme',
	keys: '$mod+T',
	description: null
	},
	toggle_sidebar: {
	title: 'Toggle sidebar',
	keys: '$mod+\\',
	description: null
	},
	zoom_in: {
	title: 'Zoom in',
	keys: '$mod+=',
	description: null
	},
	zoom_out: {
	title: 'Zoom out',
	keys: '$mod+-',
	description: null
	},
	reset_zoom: {
	title: 'Reset zoom',
	keys: '$mod+0',
	description: null
	},
	reload_view: {
	title: 'Reload view',
	keys: '$mod+R',
	description: null
	}
	},
	project: {
	project_history: {
	title: 'Project history',
	description: 'Opens the project history view. Revert changes, view commits, and more.',
	keys: '$mod+Shift+H'
	}
	}
	};

There may be more subtle keys and navigation options, but it seems they wouldn't be documented here.

[ofek]

Oh, my apologies for being so terse. I mean is the "Access Denied" error something I can resolve or should I wait some amount of time for this project to fix it?

[Byron]

Right! I would expect the next major release to perform significantly better in that regard, and there are good chances this issue will go away or be much more rare.
Sorry for the hassle.

[ofek]

No worries, I'm just excited to use this!
