OD Pro kills Light Tables?

Post by Luc Van Bogaer » Thu, 02 Oct 1997 04:00:00



Hi,

After installing Object Desktop Pro my light tables don't work anymore as all
bitmaps in the folder now have generic icons instead of thumb nail pictures.
Anyone has any ideas?

TIA,

This one of the well known (and rather annoying) bugs with od-pro
(though it is not listed on stardocks website). You can workaround, by
disabling all folder-enhancements. In the worst case, you have to set
a couple of defaults system-wide, and reenable them individually for
all non-lighttable folders.

Not really that bad. The only enhancement that you have to disable as a
default is raised/sunken icons.  The weird part is that the bug kills
lighttables even if you never used raised/sunken icons, but the
workaround still works - just go to desktop properties, options, click
raised, then click back on wpsdefault, then hit the default button,
close properties, and voila ! all lighttable folders will work...

Yeah, same here.

My fix was to go into one of my folders (not lightable) properties dialogues,
go to the Performance tab that O/D puts there and disable all the hyperxxx
options and click on the default button. My lighttables then magically came
back to life.

cheers

Thanks for the suggestions, but it doesn't seem to work here. Anyway, I will
experiment with this a bit further.

Yes, I got the solution already on the CSi Stardock Forum. Thanks for your
help.
