Image folder settings in preferences not fully visibible

[Ridderby]

Hi,

When adding a image folder the input field for the actual folder is not properly visible, at least not on Linux which I am using.

It is possible to clock on top part of the button to browse to a correct foler but not to enter or view the folder.

The image is with Archi 4.3.3 and specialization plugin 1.0.11

It will be fixed in the next release.

Any idea on next release date or how to fix it in meantime (e.g. modify params directly)?

very weird ...

I've got a standard resolution display at work and a 4K display at home and do not experience this on either displays.

Regarding your screen capture, you seem to be on Windows. Could you please confirm and provide me with your display resolution ?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Archi Preferences ("Canvas Toolkit" will be selected)
2. Select "specialization plugin"
3. Display is OK
4. Close Preferences
5. Open Archi Preferences ("specialization plugin"will be selected)
6. Display is not OK

Workaround:

1. Select any Preferences tab other than "specialization plugin" before closing Preferences

Hi Phil,

By the way, happy new year :)

Thanks so much for this workaround. I had no idea how to start using the plugin without being able to set the folder.
I never even saw what it was supposed to look like, as I tried the latest version first and it didn't work and then tried v1 . . . but since I had closed preferences on the specialization section before replacing, that's where it started and got me the unusable window.

@mwm-cbus could you please check the latest version 1.0.12 I released last week and tell me if it solved your issue.

If not, please give me more information (OS, screen size, zoom factor configured in your graphical interface, ...)

Hello!
Thanks so much for your follow-up, and for giving us so much with this plugin.
To be honest, I don't see the .jar file in github right now. I am not super familiar with github or with java so it could definitely be me.
Am I missing something, or will a .jar be back another day?

That is because Archi implements a new way to install/update plugins.

You may download the .archiplugin file, run Archi and then go to menu Help / Manage Plug-ins. You'll see all your plugins in a popup windows and the "install new" button allows you to install or update the plugin. this methods allows you to ignore the folder where the jar file must be copied.

Alternatively, you may rename the "archiplugin" extension to "zip", then uncompres the file and finally manually copy the jar file as you are used to.

Thanks for your message. Ok -- I tried that way of installing it, but I'm not sure if it replaced the prior version. It still has the specific problem of losing the image paths section of the Preferences screen, and it also still says 1.0.11 at the top. I installed through the Manage Plugins window. I wasn't sure if I should remove the 1.0.11 somehow, so I looked if it removed the 1.0.11 .jar file from the old Plugins directory. It was still there, so I renamed it at the beginning and end of the file name to try to take it out of the picture. But now it is as mentioned -- still says 1.0.11 at the top and still has the same issue, so I'm not sure what to think. Mike Moore LI: linkedin.com/in/mikewmmoore/ +1 612.257.3929
