Title: Help please with Apps
Post by: DigPeter on December 19, 2018, 03:58:02 PM
I used apps in IMatch 2017, but cannot work out how to do it in IMatch2018.  Advice please.

1.  I have some user apps in C:\ProgramData\photools.com\imatch6\webroot\user, but cannot see them in IMatch2018.  Nothing appears in any of the App Panels or in App Views.

In IM2017 I had my most often used apps in Favorites, but I cannot see how to do this in IM2018.

Apps written for IMatch 2017 are fully compatible with IMatch 2018. Nothing has changed.
The "user" folder sounds right. Please attach a log file. See log file (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#im_logfile.htm)

This will show us which apps are loaded, from where, if IMatch runs into problems somewhere.

Did you install IMatch 2018 recently? It is available since July and I don't recall a user reporting a similar problem.

Have you perhaps changed the folder where IMatch is looking for apps under Edit > Preferences > Application: Document Root?
This is by default C:\ProgramData\photools.com\IMatch6\webroot

Thanks Mario - I have sorted it out.  The User folder I put into webroot was empty.  Doh...   Sorry to trouble you.

Mario - Could you tell me what is App View for.  It is blank when the cursor hovers over it in the View Menu.

That's probably an oversight. App Views are a feature that will be included in a future release. Just ignore it for now.
