ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / TP9SP2 Issues

« on: 2015-03-10 18:38:34 »

I applied the TP9SP2 update & it totally blew away my configuration! All of my preferences are gone & back to default & it disconnected me from my MS-SQL DB.

Upon attempting to get my preferences back I am almost there, however now my folders in my hierarchy are showing up in the Thumbnail view (see attached). I never had this before & don't know how it happened to end up this way, however I do not like it and do not want my folders to show in the Thumbnail pane. Anybody know how to stop this from happening?

Another issue that I cannot seem to locate is I typically change the "White" background color in my folder list as well as the Thumbnail background to a darker color & I am not finding this setting either.

Anybody?

TIA

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / ThumbsPlus v9 SP2 beta3 & MS-SQL Server 2005 SP4

« on: 2014-11-22 10:42:31 »

Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit with all patches applied
MS-SQL Server 2005 SP4 with all patches applied

Ever since upgrading to TP9 I have been unable to get TP9 to function with MS-SQL Server 2005 SP4. Today I ran 'thumbs9sp2b3.exe' but same problem exists. The script I used for the DB creation is ‘Thumbs9_mssql.sql’ script (with NO editing done by me) which I downloaded from the Cerious website.

The ODBC connection I created tests “Successfully”, even after the upgrade to 'thumbs9sp2b3.exe'; however since that  point I have been unable to find any MS-SQL documentation for SQL Server 2005 in reference to ThumbsPlus, therefore, from this point forward I performed the following:
Database | Advanced | Convert/Client Server and pointed to my DSN. Then I CHECKED - Bypass user check (V7 users will crash) and I CHECKED - Open converted database. Within a couple of minutes at most, which seemed odd to me as my current ‘Thumbs.tpdb8’ database is 1.85GB and a conversion process should have taken longer, it opened the following ‘Conversion failed!’ message: HELP!

(see attached 'ThumbsPlus 9 SP2 Beta3 Conversion Error.jpg'



If anybody can provide me with any assistance whatsoever, It would be greatly appreciated!

TIA

PS: Up until now I had successfully been running TP5.01 & MS-SQL Server 2005 on completely different computers so I know there is no potential of anything left over that could be causing issues now. With that DB creation I utilized the 'thumbs_mssql2000.sql' which I also downloaded from the Cerious website.

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / Task name: Make tree - AutomaticallyStarts Upon Every Launch

« on: 2014-08-17 14:36:57 »

Good day all;

TP9 Pro SP1 evaluation still as I haven't received my "upgrade" code.

In any event, every time I launch TP9 it automatically starts this "Make tree" task which happens to be a lot more graphics than I want in my TP9 DB. I have not set this configuration to run automatically as if I would have the "Task path" listed in the attached graphic would not have started in that folder, therefore I know that I didn't configure it to run (not intentionally anyway).
I can't seem to figure out how to make it stop or reconfigure it and point it to start in the proper folder? Anybody have any insight to this issue? My guess is that it is some setting that I am missing somewhere, but I've gone through all of them over and over, as well, I've been using TP since ver.2 so I am familiar with their programming techniques to a certain point.

TIA
