      Kernel 6.6.9
      python3-pip-23.2.1-1

      I have tried this three different ways:

      1. Fedora RPM via dnf
      2. 2.10 source
      3. git clone source

      Source was compiled using pip3 to satisfy requirements and then to install picard. No errors were reported from compilation. All requirements were satisfied.

      The result from all three is picard without a settings function. There is no menu option in either the top or bottom panels. This was NOT a problem in v. 2.9. A new .ini file is created in ~/config/MusicBrainz.

      Upon launching picard from the command line (git version), I am getting the following error messages (which don't seem relevant to the issue):

          [PICARD-2812] Settings is missing from 2.10

          I am going to close this as this is outside of Picard and related to desktop configuration. There are various solutions that can trigger the Qt main menu to be pulled out. E.g. on KDE Plasma you can either add the "Application menu bar" widget to a panel or have an "Application menu"  button in the titlebar (or both):

           

          AFAIK similar global menu is also possible in Xfce

          This should usually be the result of the menu being pulled out by a global menu bar. So what about your desktop environment, which is it? Are you sure there is no global menu bar configured?

           

          Also try pressing the right Alt key + F. That would trigger opening the file menu. Maybe this pops up somewhere.

          There should be a traditional menu above the toolbar items you mentioned:

          If that does not show up, what desktop environment are you using? There are desktop environments or third-party components for various desktop environments that can pull out the menu and place it globally, e.g. at the top of the screen. Similar to how macOS is doing this. If you have such a setup the menu would be outside the Picard main window.

          Those error messages were from the git clone. I also compiled 2.10 from the 2.10 source and, as I said, I tried 2.10 via Fedora RPMs. The result was the same. There is no way to configure Picard.

          The menu bar does not include an "options" or "settings" entry. Menu items include: Add folder | Add Files | Cluster | Lookup | Scan | Lookup in Browser | Save | Info | Remove | Lookup CD | Submit AcoustIDs

          That is the only menu bar that is provided.

          As you are getting the plugin incompatible errors this indicates you are not running the Picard 2.10 source but the latest master branch which is in progress to migrate to Qt6 and become Picard 3. The sources for the 2.10.0 release would be available via the release-2.10 tag, the latest sources for the 2.10.x development line are available in the 2.10.x branch.

          Can you give more details on what is meant by "The result from all three is picard without a settings function. There is no menu option in either the top or bottom panels."? What exactly do you mean by top and bottom panel? There should be a menu bar in the Picard main Window (File, Edit, Options etc.)
