Insert Picture menu item disabled in Flare 4.0

[mtrumper]

I have been using Flare 4 for a couple of days now. Just opened up my project and I cannot insert pictures into a topic. The menu items for picture and screeen capture are disabled. I was able to do this yesterday.

Just to cover the absolute basics, can you double check that the topic has the focus? I know those buttons don't work if Flare is focused on another area, like the Content Explorer or the Styles Window etc.

I have had the same problem as mtrumper but only in a single project, leading me to believe a project file is corrupted.
I've tried running the Flare repair facility and restarting the machine but the problem persists.
I can write picture refs directly into the true code and they appear fine in the preview, so it appears to be the command and command icon that are disabled somewhere.
Anybody seen this and found the fix?

Does it occur in all topics Or just this one topic? Where is the cursor in the topic?

Ok here was the solution in my project:
The css that was applied at the Master Page level contained the following lines:

img
{
mc-disabled: true;
}


By removing these lines, the Insert/Picture command and corresponding icon were re-enabled.

Hope this helps.

That is weird. I wonder how that happened. Glad you got it fixed.
