How to enable the configure button for Ocular plugin

Asked by Khalid AlAjaji

If 0.10.6 is installed over previous beta version, or
If all eyepiece and telescope definitions were deleted and then a new session of Stellarium started, the Ocular plugin configure button will remain disabled even though the plugin is loaded.

The only way I found to re-enable the configure button is to manually delete the ocular.ini file and start a new Stellarium session.

Is there a way from within Stellarium to keep the configure button alive if ocular and telescope definitions were deleted?

I reported this as a bug Bug #685969, but it was considered as invalid, so I may be missing something.

The newest code prevents the user from deleting the last eyepiece or telescope from the UI.

Configure for oculars is greyed out. I have searched for ocular.ini but there is no such file.
Have do I configure oculars?

Do you have "Load at startup" box checked?
After you do that you need to restart Stellarium to configure Oculars plugin.

Please note that this question is related to release 0.10.6. Current release is 0.11.3.

The ocular.ini file is located at this path for windows :
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Stellarium\modules\Oculars

xxxx should be replaced by your window userid.
