2.001 problems

[Gary Koval]

Okay everyone,
1. I have installed the software via posted instructions. My computer info is listed below. Not all patterns are viewable in the new "open with preview" option. Is this normal?
2. When I "save as", name the file, get out of Designer and come back in, it is not listed where saved. If I query the file it shows that it is saved, and at that point can be opened. Now, if I restart my computer the file is lost.
Just trying to get past these problems before going on... Am I doing something wrong?

Will have to try to reproduce that. Are you sure it's not just the system trying to create the new thumbnail view?

Try using the normal open file dialogue without the preview feature. I noticed that it really took quite some time for the thumbnails to be created.

I do have a software question about this- I move my files quite around quite a bit- will this recreate itself each time?

Also, I keep many of my files on an external drive and in some cases on several different thumb drives, is the system going to have to "find" my files each time I re-insert the drive?

In reference to the "Open with Preview" option no I still do not have all files showing, and if I stay on a certain file for it to load the pic, I get a program crash and loose everything.

That is what happened to me for the first while. I think that the program has taken up the task of creating all of your thumbnails in the background. Try a sub directory with only a few files in it. (I am just going to skip the preview feature until 2.002 comes out.)

I just tried to open a old project and DS 2.01 said the font was not installed on this computer!
I went to windows and look it is installed. So I opened DS 1.187 and went to text and it show the
the cooper std black font in it! Went back to 2.01 and it does not show!
I consider this a bug!

[bergerud]

I count 255 fonts on my computer in 1.187 and only 204 in 2.001. So I must agree with you, some fonts are missing.

[bergerud]

What kind of font is the one you are missing? Is it a Truetype font or a bitmap type font?

[Gary Koval]

Yep, worked all day on a file saving it faithfully every half hour or so. Went back to it after dinner- it's gone. Still not all previews showing, yep probably wait like Bergerud till 2.002 comes out.
