ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Database opening as "READONLY"

« on: 2017-10-04 15:17:14 »

I just reinstalled ThumbsPlus 10 (SP1, Build 4011) after doing a clean reinstall of Windows 10 on my PC. When I start T+ and open my image database, I'm seeing some strange things:

* The database name shown at the top of the screen is correct but has ("READONLY)" appended at the end.

* Many options are grayed out, presumably because of the read-only status

* Thumbnails for many images that I've deleted in the past (previous install) are displayed

I have looked through Preferences and can't find any options that would affect opening the database as read-only. Any suggestions on how to get this working normally?

Note: I was careful to keep the paths to the database and image files unchanged when I performed the reinstalls.

Thanks.

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Re-ordering slides for slide show

« on: 2016-09-28 20:52:22 »

I'm looking for a way to manually re-order my slides in V10. Then I'd auto-renumber them to be able to preserve the sequence for a slide show. I know how to do the latter but not the former. Tips?

Thanks.

ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Build slideshow error 5034

« on: 2016-06-02 16:31:15 »

I'm building a slide show in V10, SP1, using JPG images. Everything seems to go normally in the creation process (Image|Build Slide Show). The problem occurs when I try to run the slide show executable file. This yields error message 5034: "No files could be loaded for the slide show, or all loadable files were too small."

Checking that error code in the ThumbsPlus V8 user guide gives this information:

"None of the files selected were capable of being shown. The files were either not recognized or not viewable, or were smaller than the minimum dimensions specified in the Slide Show Options dialog box."

When I select the jpg files that I am using in the slide show, and press F8, the slides display just fine, showing that ThumbsPlus can recognize the files.

Regarding size, the jpg images I'm currently testing are 6000x4000 pixels (I've tried smaller sizes as well, same problem). Also, in the Options | Viewing Options | Slide Show dialog box, I unchecked "Exclude files smaller than . . . " to be safe.

So I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions on what to try so that ThumbsPlus recognizes the files?

Thanks,
Doug
