File info window does not display on InDesign CC2019 on macOS Catalina

[zoel20697007]

InDesignCC 14.0.3; MacOS Catalina 10.15.3.

Earlier today I had to reset preferences. Now the File info window is invisible. I have trashed the Cache files in Library for InDesign, and restarted. This happens with a blank document. btw I cannot upgrade because the office software upgrades are controlled.

I figured it out. Googled it. Found on InDesign Secrets https://indesignsecrets.com/topic/disappearing-file-info-dialog. This problem is probably due to the fact I have an external monitor.

« ...there is a file named “DVADialogPrefs.xml” located in the User Library folder in Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version X/en_US/DVADialogPrefs. (Hold down the Option key and choose Go > Library in the Finder to display the Library folder). Quitting InDesign, deleting the “DVADialogPrefs.xml” file, and restarting InDesign fixes the problem, and allows the File Info dialog box to display properly. »
