Hello, I encountered a problem with FTView Studio 12.00 where clicking on the 3 dot button in the photo causes the application to freeze. However, manually entering parameters in the text box works without any issues. To resolve the freeze, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software with the latest patch files. If you have any solutions, please assist me. Thank you.
Avoid pressing the button!
Some users have reported encountering problems with the tag browser appearing off-screen, possibly due to saving its location on a disconnected monitor. This issue could be connected to the display settings.
After reaching out to Rockwell support, I discovered that the solution to my issue was to simultaneously press the Alt key and the space bar, then release. This action prompted a dialog box to appear, allowing me to select the Move option. By doing so, a 4-way directional icon appeared, enabling me to bring back the tag browser window into view by pressing the left arrow key. I appreciate the helpful responses.
