Swollen bullets (but OK in output) - how to fix them?

Post by Cecily »

I am updating a project created by another author. It was created in Flare v4 and I am using v5, with View > Show > Show All Images as Thumbnails ticked.

All the screenshots show as thumbnails in Flare, but the correct size in the output.

However, the image used for the bullets is the other way round: fine in the output, but enormous (2cm diameter) in Flare - to the extent that it obscures other text and makes it hard to work with. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks

Yep, it's a known bug, caused by the new option to show images as thumbnails.

To switch this off, on the topic toolbar click the <t> (show tags) icon and select Show All Images As Thumbnails (so that it's not ticked).

Thanks - why didn't I think of trying that?

It means my other images are no longer thumbnails, but I worked that way pre v5, so it's not a big deal, and certainly far better than having the enourmous bullets.
