11.4.1.7 Material Painter Seems Broken?

[Zowie]

I pick material painter and it's just bleeps at me when I try to use it. Never had this problem until updating, anyone else having this?

Thanks, Zowie.

Is the dbx already opened ?

Minimize each window until you get back to the desktop

If a dbx is already open you can get a beep.

NO DBX IS NOT OPEN. THIS AND THE EYE DROPPER TOOL SEEM TO BE PROBLEMATIC SINCE THE UPDATE.
THANKS, z

Zowie,
I was having problems with the spray can and the eyedropper wasn't picking up color.

What I had to do was uninstall and reinstall X1 and the new update. That seemed to cure that problem however I am finding certain things aren't working as they used to.

You probably have moved the select library object dialog off screen. If you have used the system with another monitor you may need to reconnect the monitor to find it.

This could be the case Dan, thanks. Is there a way to wipe out the registry for this like the library docking problem so that I can retrieve my color chooser when I take my laptop to the field without my second screen?

Deleting the registry key to retrieve the library from a dual screen situation is a life saver, do you have one for this color chooser?

Those of us who bring laptops into the field and work on dual screens at home need to know this.

Zowie,

There is a new Preference for the Library Browser problem under Library Browser Preferences, look for Restore Position/Size Defaults.
No need to go into the Registry.
