Title: Category Formula
Post by: micmacmoe on December 19, 2019, 11:22:11 PM
Hello

When i open the Formula in the categories, the  window that opens to configure the Formula is without any function. The window is visible but it is not accessible, the Formula can not be edit.
i have to say, i'm running the program on an other Computer, where i have no Problem with that issue.
Maybe there is some General Windows issue? any library missing???

i have the actual Version 2019.8.4 and an Windows 10 machine


Kind regards

michael

Hi Michael,
I had this behaviour once. In my case, there were some pending Windows 10 updates which had been downloaded and installed in the background and were waiting for a reboot. After a reboot, everything worked as expected.

Rebooting the PC would also something I would do.
Also the IMatch log file (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#im_logfile.htm) may contain error messages or warnings useful to know.
Please follow the instructions on the page above and ZIP/attach the log to your reply.

Any other strange issues?
I find it puzzling the the Workflow categories report now images. No keywords in your database?

Hello
Yes this is strange, allthough it is a new database, it has over 60000 entries, that do not exist.
Anyway, on the same machine, but with another account, the program behaves normal. So i think, there is something with this account.

Thanks for your replies

The database in this log file  (C:\Users\User\Documents\IMatch Database.imd5) reports 0 folders, 0 files and 27 categories. This cannot be right.

Note: If you store your database in a user-specific (!) folder, and you work with different user accounts, you will work with different databases. Because "C:\Users\User\Documents\..." is different for each user. This is a virtual folder in Windows that is named the same for all users, but stored in different physical folders.
