Hi,
I was playing with the layout of the browser, and closed the preview window. It now seems gone forever - I can't find the command to bring it back!
Thanks in advance,
Roy

At a quick look possibly View > Panels > Preview ?hsfpix wrote: Thu Dec 07, 2023 4:13 pm I was playing with the layout of the browser, and closed the preview window. It now seems gone forever - I can't find the command to bring it back!
Note: I hardly use the browser options and have given incorrect advice before...

Thanks!
Now my problem is that the Preview window remains blank when I click on any images in the browser? I have been through every menu item I can see
The info updates for each image I click on, but the Preview window remains blank.
Cheers,
Roy.

Works for me, have you tried alternative file formats including basic formats like JPEG and PNG?hsfpix wrote: Thu Dec 07, 2023 5:09 pm Now my problem is that the Preview window remains blank when I click on any images in the browser?

You might also look at Tools > Settings > Browser > File list -- Custom filter which if you can figure it out might possibly be relevant.

Went through all that prior - I just needed to quit and start again and all is well.
Thanks for your patience

It doesn't seem obvious that a restart is necessary after enabling that (or presumably other) browser window options...hsfpix wrote: Thu Dec 07, 2023 6:34 pm Went through all that prior - I just needed to quit and start again and all is well.
