Small glitch in Link Persons dialog

[thrinn]

A small glitch only:
In the Link Persons dialog, the "Clear" button is being cut off at the right edge:


(UHD resolution, 150% scaling)

Can you make the dialog wider?

[thrinn]

No, it has a fixed size. I tried it in the viewer as well as from the file window.

How strange. UHD means 3,840 x 2,160 and at 150% this matches my screen settings.

The Link dialog is a fixed size dialog with all controls at fixed positions I set once in the "resource editor" during development.
It also seems that in your screen shot the edit and list controls are too wide, exceeding the width of the dialog...

(Most) IMatch dialogs remember their position and size, The dialog is restored at the same position and size when it is opened again. This looks to me as if, for some reason, the size of the dialog is restored wrong, making it too narrow. I don't think I have seen that before.

Do you remember if this was OK at some time? Or when this looked like this for the first time?
Did you with Pack & Go and maybe fiddled with the settings database in an SQL Editor?

If you know SQL and you have a tool that can open SQLite databases, you can open the IMatch settings database and delete the stored location and size for this dialog with:

Code Select Expand

DELETE FROM settings WHERE sname = 'dialogs.base.wp.dlg.face.assign'
Or you can send me your settings database ("C:\ProgramData\photools.com\IMatch6\config\imatch.pts") and I do this for you.

Unfortunately I don't remember. In fact I just started to use Linkes Persons at all.
And no, I did not use Pack & Go (at least not to restore anything to my main PC, which is what you mean, I suppose).
Also no to your last question - no fiddling yet.

Yes, I know SQL. I can certainly install some SQLite tool to try what you propose. (And yes, I will make a backup before starting fiddling ). No time for that today, but I will give it a try tomorrow.

You can download the command line version of SQLite: https://sqlite.org/download.html
Download the sqlite-tools-win-x64 to get sqlite3.exe. Save it to as folder and open a command prompt for that folder. Then:

Code Select Expand

sqlite3 "C:\ProgramData\photools.com\IMatch6\config\imatch.pts" <Enter>
DELETE FROM settings WHERE sname = 'dialogs.base.wp.dlg.face.assign'; <Enter>
.exit <Enter>

Hi Mario,
I followed the steps you proposed. After deleting the setting, the dialog shows in the correct size again. And it was really the dialog's size that was off because OK and Cancel were not even visible any more.

As it is working now, we can close this ticket.

Very strange. I think we've had something like this never before...?!
