Missing panels in AddaxAI - quick fix

General
1

Hey everyone,

I’ve been getting quite a few emails about this issue lately, so thought I’d share the solution here for anyone running into the same problem.

The problem

You’re working in AddaxAI and you accidentally close some panel in the Step 3: Annotation verification window. You accidentally hit a keyboard shortcut that hides the panel. The LabelImg component saves this state, so even reinstalling AddaxAI won’t fix it because the settings file persists.

The solution

This is caused by LabelImg settings (LabelImg is the annotation tool that AddaxAI uses under the hood). Here’s how to fix it:

Delete the settings file:

  1. Navigate to
    • macOS: /Users/<your-username>/.labelImgSettings.pkl
    • Windows: C:\Users\<your-username>\.labelImgSettings.pkl
  2. Delete this file
  3. Restart AddaxAI

The file is hidden by default, so you’ll need to show hidden files:

  • macOS: pressing Shift + Cmd + . (period) in Finder.
  • Windows: clicking View > Show > Hidden files in the file explorer.

Cheers,

Peter
