picture issue

Post by comeek »

I'm using Window 7 64bit. The picture window seems to have infinite height, that is you can't resize height. when you try to dock it takes up all the listing space.

Sometimes this happens but I do not know why. You should be able to solve that by editing the preferences file (prefs.xml, either in program's folder or in virtual store folder - if you need more info to find it you could find that with a search, else I can detail that)
So in the prefs.xml file, search for lines starting by ToolbarPictureWindow and ToolbarPicture: delete these two lines.

Deleted line, but when I ran the program it put the lines back in. I see the height variable is high.

<ToolbarPictureWindow Rev="2000" Visible="1" DockedTo="+" LastDock="DockBottomList" DockRow="0" DockPos="-1" FloatLeft="0" FloatTop="0" ClientWidth="215" ClientHeight="27141"/>
<ToolbarPicture Rev="2000" Visible="1" DockedTo="DockImageLeft" LastDock="DockImageLeft" DockRow="0" DockPos="-1" FloatLeft="0" FloatTop="0" FloatRightX="0"/>

Editing the line down and saving still gets overwritten when the program is run.

Strange that my database was running fine on another PC running Windows 7.

Changing the "ClientHeight" value to a more normal value (e.g. "100") does not work either I guess?
Did you edit that file directly in program's folder or did you check in Virtual Store folder? (assuming it works in 7 like in Vista, as I did not test much Windows 7)

Picture fix

Deleting or changing the prefs.xml didn't seem to work. However, when I deleted the 2 files and replaced them with a pref.xml from another PC it fixed the problem.
