How can they keep taking money for a product, month after month, and yet not provide any support for it. OK, so - as expected - I have heard absolutely nothing from Adobe. When I get a moment I'll try reverting to 7.3 or 7.4 and starting with a completely fresh catalogue, just to see whether this makes a difference. If not, I need to find some way of going back to a previous version in order to restore the missing functionality. If this is a simple bug in version 8.0 then I'll wait for it to be fixed. there's no Internet connection in the room where I need to operate (a bit of a show-stopper!).
Having said that, it doesn't explain why reverting back to a previous version didn't fix things, unless the catalogue (or something associated with it) had been mangled as part of the upgrade process. Thanks for your confirmation, and it could well be a bug in LR 8.0. If anyone can shed light on what might be going on - or suggest experiments which I may have missed - I'd be hugely grateful. The lights might be on, but there's certainly nobody at home!Īs the projectionist for a camera club, the absence of a functioning Slideshow module is a real problem. I don't see any " Creating Preview" messages, no matter what I do, and the "other screens" do not blank, even when this option is selected. To be clear, the buttons are not greyed out, and the UI does seem to respond to mouse clicks by showing the buttons as "pressed". The functions which aren't working for me are: None of these changes made any difference whatsoever! I'm guessing this might be a QT problem, as all other Slideshow options work fine (for example, I can export a slideshow to either a MOV or a PDF).
Before anyone presents me with a raft of "have you tried xxx?" questions, I ought to point out that I'm a software engineer myself with more than 40 years experience.
I tried the slideshow module again after version 8.0 was released, just to see whether the high-DPI issue had been fixed, and discovered something much more alarming: neither the Play nor the Preview button were functioning. Slideshows are always run on an external projector (Canon WUX500 running at either 1920x1080 or 1600x1200), and when I first tried this back in August (7.3 or 7.4, not sure which) I discovered that everything worked fine providing I hadn't over-ridden the "high-DPI scaling" settings for the application.
It's a Dell XPS 13 with a UHD (3840x2160) screen running Windows 10, plus Intel Graphics 620 (driver version 23.). I've used the LR slideshow module ever since it was introduced, and it has worked flawlessly until I upgraded my laptop recently.
