My preview window doesn't show an image

Post by showmeinfinity »

Somehow I managed to do something to the preview window so now it only shows info, not an image. I've attached a screenshot. I can't find anything in the settings to get it back! Thanks if you can help.

If you right-click on the browser toolbar (or menu bar) a dropdown opens in which you can reselect the Preview display... :D

Not a very obvious way to configure the browser window, you presumably closed the preview by inadvertently clicking on the small 'x' at top right of the preview display.

Get everything exactly the way you want it and then ...
SAVE THE LAYOUT!!! (From someone who learned that the hard way) :mrgreen:

Could you say how to do that Rick, I'm not sure how obvious that is?
