Hi Martin

I apologise if this is a repeat posting as I sent a similar posting a while ago and I am unable to see it.

I took a couple of screen shots and image files using the output option on the tool bar.

When I opened the screen shots have got a blue rectangle in them which obliterates most of the track plan.

When trying to up load the files as an email attachment, to Wally, using OE I am unable to find them. Also when I look for them using My Computer I still can’t find them but when I use windoz explorer amazingly they are there. Is this a TDV or windoz problem?

Hi Phil,

2_290714_270000000.png2_290714_270000000.png

Note 1 (see above).

You have installed TDV under the My Documents folder. I did explain in my download notes not to do that sort of thing. It may appear to work but sooner or later it will cause you grief.

Please stick to the default C:\TEMPLOT_DEV\ folder or else create a folder for TDV somewhere else entirely, such as E:\RAILWAYS\MODELS\TEMPLOT_DEV\.

Note 2 (see above).

You have 2 nested folders for TDV. I recommend that you don't do that as it can cause mix-ups .

Note 3 (see above).

I suspect you may be looking in the wrong folder. Click the drop-down and check that you are looking under TEMPLOT_DEV and not just your Templot Dev folder.

By the way, you have made your computer 10 times more difficult to use and more likely to make mistakes by not having the file extensions showing. The file showing in the dialog is actually a plain text file dummy.txt which is in there purely as place-holder to avoid creating an empty folder. It's not an image file. You can delete it if you wish. 

I will need to look at the problem with the screenshot function and report back. Sorry about that. In the meantime you can use the PRINT SCREEN key in the usual way, or use output > export a file... to create a PNG output image file instead of a screenshot.

regards,

Martin.

Many thanks Martin

TDV duly shifted to C: all duplicates removed, Don't know how they got there, probably operator error. Email sent.

Many thanks again

Phil
