Sorry. Maintaining more than one theme became too much work. All browsers now have a zoom facility, and in Firefox you can zoom the text size without affecting the images. Firefox remembers the setting for each site between visits, so there is no real need for a separate theme just to provide smaller text. regards, Martin. posted: 20 Feb 2011 13:44 from: Stephen Freeman No problem posted: 20 Feb 2011 18:20 from: Glen Suckling Hi Martin, I think that the smaller font could be very useful for some people.

... as often as you wish without needing to download them more than once. The small SK5 file tells the loader which FBR video to play, or to download first and then play. The Templot installer setup should have associated SK5 files with the video loader in Windows. Which browser are you using? Selecting the SK5 "Open" option in your browser on the video link should enable the browser to launch the video loader. I have just done a new test install in Windows7, and everything appears to be working fine using Firefox. If you can't get it to work, choose instead the option to "Save" the SK5 file, and then open it directly by going to help> video player> open SK5 files... menu item in Templot, and navigating to your saved downloads folder. If still no joy, some of the videos can be viewed online (in poorer MP4 image quality, without the full FBR interactive functions), at: Templot Explained- first off: http://flashbackconnect.com/Default.aspx?id= ...
64. Templot locks PC
... the crash so that's a red herring! The transparency option does definitely seem to be the culprit though- not one crash with transparency turned off! The last time the crash happened Templot hadn't actually got as far as zooming in to the control template (with a transparent picture) when it all locked up, but perhaps it was just the very thought of zooming in that made it crash Your mention of the graphics card is interesting though! I do have the latest nVidia drivers, but every now and then opening or closing Firefox causes the drivers to crash, at which point they restart themselves and carry on with a little info box to tell me what just happened. This seems to be a known problem with Firefox and nVidia drivers but maybe there's something else going on. The card itself is nothing special- a £25 MSI job. Oh well- I do usually set gauge and scale first, but for the new project I was faffing about with background shapes first!

65. .box files
... and I can't seem to find any where that gives me the ability to do so. Hi Simon, .box files are saved in Templot's own data storage format. So you will be able to use them only if you are a Templot user. If you are, you should be able to click on the link, and your browser will download the file and launch Templot for you. Templot will then ask you if you want to load the downloaded file. I've made a bit of Jing video showing that happening (in Firefox) -- it may take a few seconds to start: http://screencast.com/t /DEq7j9ezB If you prefer, instead of choosing to Open the downloaded file, you can choose the option in your browser to Save it. Then you can select a folder on your computer where you want it saved. And at any time later you can go there in Templot (reload/ add from file... menu item) and load the .box file. Saving the downloaded file is also the best option ...

... topic: 3400 Forum image orientation posted: 26 Mar 2019 12:45 from: Martin Wynne At various times images from mobile phones and tablets have appeared here at the wrong orientation, because there is no means to honour the EXIF orientation setting contained in the original image. I have recently discovered that alone among browsers, Firefox is able to do this. (Possibly also Microsoft Edge -- although that is now to be discontinued on Windows in favour of Chrome). So I have now added the relevant CSS to the forum code: <style> img{ image-orientation: from-image;} </ style> This will probably work only for images posted as attachments, or hot-linked from other sites, and where the image was directly uploaded from the mobile device. It probably won't work for images in the image gallery because as far as I can see the EXIF data is not preserved in resampling, or for images which have been edited in some graphics editors which don't update the EXIF orientation data when images are ...

... a simultaneous post on the AFCA forum (which has many thousands of members), our combined emails may be spread out over a few minutes.

... I ran into the same upload issues as before, so went back into search and found another poster had a similar issue. He found that the Gallery Upload worked OK, so thought I'd try that. Had exactly the same result in as much uploading into a topic just stalled and went nowhere. Tried a couple of times without success. Hi Gordon, It's difficult to respond to this because it depends so much on which browser, on what system? Needless to say, it works fine for me here on Windows10+ Firefox (otherwise I would have fixed it). A few points to note: 2_060712_390000000.png 1. after selecting the file, don't click the Upload image button until the words "No file selected" (or whatever your browser says there) has changed to the name of the file. On my system that sometimes takes several seconds after selecting the file in the file dialog. I don't know why there is a delay (it's on my list of things to investigate), but I do know that it won't upload properly ...
... on my screen). Hi Derek, It seems fine to me. Admittedly my eyes are 67 years old, yours may be younger. Here is the Templot Wiki showing on my tablet computer -- which is where I assume most users will view the Templot Companion. The font size compares with the system's own fonts (bottom left). Of course the user can always zoom it up or down as preferred, and the browser will remember the zoom setting for any page when returning to it (or at least, Firefox does). 2_220647_300000000.jpg What do others think? regards, Martin. posted: 22 Oct 2015 14:38 from: DerekStuart Martin That looks fine there. Where you have the sub heading, that is coming out about the same size and emphasis as the plain text on my computer, hence my comment (win 8 laptop, chrome). I will try it on the desktop using explorer later on and report back; I wonder if it might just be something set funny on my laptop. EDIT: It looks ...
... The minimise function seems to work OK, but the maximise doesn't. What's happening is that if I hit the maximise button with Templot across both monitors, it maximises to the primary monitor. I have a little utility called Ultramon that has it's own maximise button, so I don't know whether there's a clash with this or if it's a Windows thing. Actually, I just closed Ultramon down, and the same thing happens- it isn't possible to hit the maximise button to maximise across both screens. Other programs, such as Firefox, do this OK, with or without Ultramon. Using dual monitors needs some practice with zooming and panning -- otherwise you find that the part that you are focused on is always right across the screen split. For this reason you might find it more user-friendly to set the pad to something less than the full double screen width. I think perhaps that three monitors is the ideal setup... It took me a while to get used to the screen split, but to be honest I don't notice ...
... ready. Which is what happened with 214a, leading to more than 12 months delay between updates. Bob, do you feel you need an anti-virus with Windows 10? I have been happy to rely on the built-in Windows Defender, which most commentators suggest is sufficient. Certainly I haven't seen any problems, or mostly even knowing it is there. It runs a daily scan and updates just like other anti-virus programs. regards, Martin. I had no problems with the previous upgrade.

... ! Here's a screenshot of my first attempt at constructing a map of the layout at Templecombe for a P4 Templot drawing: 2129_090644_270000000.png You can see that, for the first map I imported at the 0,0 datum, I forgot to click the Full-screen/Draw option on the map image, so leaving in the spurious menus, etc. Initially I fed in the relevant grid reference to specify the map I required, but eventually I found it easier to select the screenshot I required in my usual web browser (Firefox), then copy and paste the URL for that into the 'other screenshot map URL' in Templot's 'load a map into background picture shapes' dialog. Within the Templot map viewer my mouse failed to scroll the map. I tried using the arrow keys for scrolling the map in the viewer, but found the scroll steps to be much too coarse. However, I did get acceptable results by selecting the view separately in the web browser then pasting its URL into the Templot dialog. It would have been nice to be ...
... one joint spacing. Switch fronts timbered with 2 timbers. Switch sizes and V-crossing angles can be combined as required, but the sizes shown are close to "natural" and convenient. The longer sizes are intended for curving as required. All V-crossings in the file are curviform pattern to match typical n.g. practice, but will need to be changed to regular or generic pattern to make crossovers. File is for 15mm/ft scale, with quoted radii accordingly: fn3_15mm_samples.png Download the file from fn3_15mm_samples.box (In Firefox, right-click and Save Link As...) Here's a picture of a 2ft-6in gauge V-crossing which I used for inspiration. Notice the rail joints in the stock rails aligned with the wing rail front joints. Templot doesn't show these, so they can be added by hand on the prints. There is no evidence here of closed up joint spacing, just the reverse in fact. Narrow-gauge track tends to be like that. The check rail lengths in the file might be shortened ...

... C&L templates. I have worked out how to adjust the spacing from the crossing nose to the switch heel, but not from the switch heel to the toe. How do I adjust the timber spacing for the whole turnout, and then save those settings? Hi Giles, You didn't specify a gauge, but I assume you mean 00 gauge? There is a Templot file which you can download containing templates already matched to C&L 00 gauge templates: http://www.templot.com/samples/cl_00_gauge_equiv.box (In Firefox right-click on the above link and click "Save Link As...")
