How can I snap start and end point of an arrow to the grid ("snap to grid" is activated)? Do I overlook something?

You should now be able to set the image height and width for both print and screen.

HTH

Thank you, this works!

E.g. I want to size the image from 2400*1100 to 1200*550 or 2400*1000 to 2000*833 (no cropping, proportional resizing with all texts and layers added in Capture).

Hi! Maybe I'm too dumb to find it in the help.... But how can I resize an opened image file in Capture?

Rather than use a bubble object, how about using a text rectangle object? You can make the text white, make the background transparent, and set the line width of the border to 0. HTH Thank You! I tried with a rectangle object but struggle to set the background to transparent. I can't find this sett...

Here the same, this is very annoying. Can this be fixed, please?

Is it possible to add only the text without these bubbles?

I think, this is the easiest solution.
Thanks, guys!

I have a problem with copy & paste. When I paste the selected part to an editor, only parts of it gets pasted. The parameter names (these are snippets) and the image (when the image name would be pasted, would be great) are missing. Is there any solution, that these can be copied/Pasted, too? ht...

Let's say, I have a snippet on 40 pages. I can open the snippet and in the link viewer, I see all the topics, where the snippet is used. How can I open all 40 topic pages at once?

Thanks, Mark. "All files (*.*)" does the trick. I overlooked it.

Is there a way to search in topics and snippets at the same time (without doing 2 seperate searches)?

Great. This makes sense. Thank You!

What happens if you put the file in the folder you want using file explorer, and just create a link to it? (For ease, I think I'd include the file in the same folder as the topic I was linking from, so I didn't have to worry about whether the relative path was created correctly.) Thank You, this wo...

I wonder, if it is possible, to include files for download in a topic? This file should not be shown with it's content (it's an other file format, it's not included in the file fomat list list, when you choose to insert images or multimedia files).

I can't see your image so I'm just guessing, but have you looked at using a MiniTOC proxy? See this topic in the help as a reasonable starting point, then ask more questions if that link doesn't give you answers. ...But I wonder, why you can't see the image (just tested it on another machine: image...

I can't see your image so I'm just guessing, but have you looked at using a MiniTOC proxy?

Yes, this seems to be the right term, I'll have a look on it tomorrow, thank you very ...

Hi,

Thanks.
I can see, you can open it with a browser, too. That's even better!

Is it possible to open a page 2 times?
Imagine, you have a long page, you're writing at the end of page, but want to see the start of page, too.

OK, here it is a bit smaller:

Firstly, welcome to the forums. Secondly, I can't see your image so can't help. Have you uploaded the image correctly? In the forums edit your post and in the section directly below where you enter text, click the Upload attachment tab, browse to your screenshot file and select it, then click Add t...

No one knows something about that?

Hi, I'm doing my first steps in Flare. And I have a first problem, when I build a project and my images are tifs, it seems, when I want to output jpegs, there are problems with tifs, that include layers and text layers: https://i.imgur.com/7XI0dTD.jpg The first image has no layers, second one has.
