Title: Empty space/invisible text
Post by: Birthe Søjberg on 2016-07-05 11:43:39

What is causing this empty space? Each time I find this, I am struggling several hours to get rid of it. It is very persistent. When I think I have deleted the space, I open another photo, then I go back to this photo, and the space is back.

Are you using the option of auto-annotating images from their metadata?

See: Options | Preferences | Metadata | Load Database Annotation From

(possibly also the 'when' options to the right of that).

Yes, I thought that might be the case.

If you want to make your own annotations, without ThumbsPlus adding anything unexpected (such as an empty line), turn those two options to the left off, and set the option at right to 'never'.

Afterwards, when you edit the annotation of that one particular image to remove the empty line, it should be gone forever.

I tried that. Then the text doesn't show at all.
I add tekst with Quick process - Modify file info, because I want the text to follow the picture, if I move it to another folder.

I see, then your text was metadata after all (you enter it as a comment that is saved in the image file itself - and from there, TP copies it automatically into the database annotation).

Try this:

• Go again to: Options | Preferences | Metadata | Load Database Annotation From
  
• Turn 'Image comment' on (the other 2 options remain off)
• And to the right, set 'Load DB annotation when' to 'Always'.

From then on it should work the way that you intended.

Thank you very much. That did the trick. Thank you. :-)
