Link Viewer broken?

Post by smajors »

I'm in the images folder trying to use the Link Viewer to see what topics the image(s) are in but the "linked from" is showing no incoming links. When I go to the topic to find the image it is there so not sure why the link viewer is not working. I've rebooted the computer and have closed Flare and restarted it multiple times, still not working. I've tried different images and still having the issue.

Any else ever experinece this? :?:

I tried a different folder and it worked, so I went back to the other folder and now it's working. So strange! I don't know why it was doing this or why that fixed it. I did not have the lock button on.

My default action whenever this kind of thing happens is to close Flare (and Analyzer if it's open) and then DELETE the \Output folder and the \Analyzer folder. You'd be amazed at just how many problems this fixes. Flare does sometimes get its knickers in a twist and the easiest thing is to remove knickers and replace with a clean pair!

Link Viewer isn't working in one project. It works in another project however.

In the project where it doesn't work, the Associated Targets and the Linked From panes continually say "(computing...)". The Linked To pane is populated properly.

I have deleted the Analyzer, Output, and Users folders; closed the application; restarted my machine; opened the project where it does work; closed that project, and then opened the one where it hasn't worked. It still doesn't work.

I even uninstalled and then reinstalled Flare 11.

I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any ideas?
