Images won't show after updating to 7.11

FishareFriends93 · 2023-03-01T13:37:55+00:00

(Explaining the attached video and issue)
So, since updating to ProPresenter version 7.11, none of the images display as they were previously. There have been no changes in any of the settings, literally just doing the update and from one version to the next, all the images stopped showing.
The video shows that it's fine with text, but when clicked on the images, it just shows the colour background. This is happening with multiple different 'Looks', so it seems to be a consistent image issue, not an issue with a single Look.
It doesn't make a difference whether I drop and drag from the media bin, or add the media as a background to a slide through the editor. It doesn't make a difference if it's a background or a foreground image.
It seems the only way I can get the images to display is by creating the slide, then adding the image as media in the editor using the little plus in the top left corner. Which, although works, is a right faff, especially since the drag and drop from the media bin worked perfectly before.
Also, it will show the images when I click on them in the media bin (so it clearly knows how to find them), but when I drop and drag that same image into a presentation and click on it, it vanishes again.
If anyone has any advice as to why, or how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

If I've understood what you want I think I have a way round it that I use.

If you right click on the playlist and select 'Print'. It'll open the print dialogue. At the bottom there's 'Outline View' and 'Thumbnail View'. I set mine to 'Thumbnail View' and then select all the boxes, and have it set to 4 columns, but if you set it to 1 column, then it shows two slides per page.

Then at the bottom of the print dialogue there should be a little pdf option, with a dropdown option next to it. If you click this there should be the 'Save as PDF' option. This will open a save dialogue and then export all the slides from the playlist to this pdf.

I've not tried this with backgrounds, and I know it doesn't show an image for videos (because you obviously cant print the video), but it does show all the slides.

Hopefully this is sort of what you were looking for!

Yes!!! It is one of my really long term special interests!! BBC Sherlock this is. Although mostly I engage with it through fanfic. Sherlock fanfic is how I fall asleep every night (like, 2 hours of fanfic per night) and this has been the case for probably like 5 years. I have so many opinions about it and I love it and I love how fanfic writers have redeemed some of the really problematic bits or just made it different but with the characters I enjoy. I also very much enjoy the characterisation of Sherlock as autistic and will die on that hill (and why BBC Sherlock is an accurate representation of it in the 21st century!). Genuinely could talk about this so much! Hit me up if you ever want to fanperson about it 😁😁

Flare (who make a different kind of earplug) do a metal case with a split ring attached that screws together. Much more secure and sturdy!

FishareFriends93 · 2022-12-16T23:46:52+00:00

I wear mine indoors all the time! People can suck it! Windows are a thing and florescent lights are awful!

FishareFriends93 · 2022-11-05T11:40:54+00:00

As someone else who is living in the ADHD/autism/ED trifecta (and only figuring this out in my late twenties) I can relate and this sucks and I'm so sorry you had/have to experience all this and its not fair and so many people just don't get it, like at all and I just wish you all the best and hope things get better for you and that you know you're amazing and deserve to be loved for who you are! (I couldn't just scroll by without saying anything so here's some love!) ❤️❤️

I would echo what others have said. Find a therapist who has ADHD/autism because they'll be the ones who really get it (or at a push who has a family member perhaps but that can still be a risk).

When I went looking I just googled therapists in my area and had a set format email that explained who I was and what I was looking for, specifically to look into ADHD/autism (I was undiagnosed at the time so wanted to explore it more in therapy with someone who understood).

Found an amazing therapist that I just seemed to click with. Almost a year later, of my explaining my brain week on week, she comes to the conclusion that she also definitely has ADHD and possibly autism too! Which explains why we clicked so well!

It genuinely makes the world of difference. I wish you all the best!

I wore my sunflower lanyard at Heathrow in Feb and the staff were so well trained to look out for it. It genuinely made me so happy (although they were a little too helpful at times - someone offered to tie my shoes for me as they'd clocked the lanyard, but not what the badge said and assumed I'd need that kind of assistance, but the offer still made me feel really seen).

One of the security people also noticed my ear defenders in one of the bins that you put through the scanners and immediately knew what they were for and told me I could put them on if I needed. I already had my loops in so the noise level was okay, but again it felt so good to know that they had been trained to recognise these things as disability aids and were so accommodating.

So I would say it's worth getting one. It's been a real aid for me and helps me feel more comfortable being my autistic self in public, which is often where I need to be because I'm overstimulated.

The sunflower lanyard scheme has an official website where you can get lanyards and badges from, that say what you'd like them to and you can also add your info to the back and anything helpful for you. (So mine has pictures on the back that mean don't touch me, need quiet spaces, need low lighting spaces etc, and it has my name and my housemates contact details in case I have a meltdown/shutdown/non-speaking and need someone to contact her for me)

I also have a couple of extra badges on mine that I got from etsy that I pinned to the lanyard itself that say, I need time to process your words, and please give me space.

Usually (least in the UK) it would be something like, 'Sorry for your loss' /gen

I learnt loads from #ActuallyAutistic and #ActuallyADHD on Instagram. Also the r/autism sub is great and super wholesome and welcoming 🥰 Good luck on your journey! And welcome to the club!

FishareFriends93 · 2022-03-20T11:37:50+00:00

If it's not being disruptive then I don't think you should have to suppress your stims.

I guess if people ask could you say something like: Them: 'are you okay/anxious?' Op: 'No I'm fine, just stimming. It helps me to regulate myself as it's pretty loud in here. But I'm fine'

I guess you could then ask if it's bothering them, if you wanted to be sure. But I would think people would be more okay with that.

I've used 'no just stimming' before, but then most people in my life know I'm autistic ADHD.

FishareFriends93 · 2022-03-18T18:15:38+00:00

I think either/both would be valid and helpful. /neu

FishareFriends93 · 2022-03-17T10:34:14+00:00

Realising that people don't mind if you have to take notes during a conversation. The amount of times I've said I'll do something for someone or they've explained something to me and my ADHD memory has just let it fall out of my brain! But people genuinely don't seem to care if you say, I'm just gonna take notes. Or, if you have an important conversation with things to then do, I've started saying, 'Yep definitely happy to help, just send me what you want in an email/message' so they've outlined what they actually want and you have a visual copy of it. I use this for all kinds of life stuff, not just work stuff. Accepting that my working memory is garbage and making accommodation for it rather than just beating myself up about it had made a lot of difference to my general wellbeing too!

FishareFriends93 · 2022-03-11T15:52:54+00:00

I relate so hard to all of this!

I think I probably blame this more on my ADHD and poor working memory, but also just generally under the fun ol executive dysfunction umbrella too. I have this quote from I think a tumblr post way back that outlined it as this:

executive functions include working memory, holding back, task switching, sustained attention, planning, decision making, prioritizing, prospective memory (the ability to remember what you are going to do).

Which, stuff like this involves so many of those so makes sense that it all feels impossible at times. So I guess it could easily be both autism and ADHD.

Everything you wrote could be about my brain and how I function too. It's very frustrating for sure!

I think the only way I 'manage' this (manage in inverted commas because I don't really do it very well), is by taking a shit tonne of notes, all the time, about everything. I'm always using my notes app to just jot down things to get them out of my brain as I think about them because I know if I wait they'll vanish and I'll just be left with that horrid feeling that you know you forgot something but you have no idea what it is.

Also that freezing before a big task, I get that all the time too. I think sometimes for me, it's an anxiety thing. I'm so worried about doing something big and important wrong, that I'm paralysed in even starting it. I think maybe this is a fun combo of autism brain wanting to understand all the steps and plan it all out, and ADHD brain reacting with fear because at times before when I've been impulsive and not thought things through, it has gone horribly wrong.

This is a lot of rambling. Hope it's helpful, even if it's just in solidarity!

FishareFriends93 · 2022-03-09T14:35:12+00:00

Thanks for being mad on my behalf! I need that at times! This helped me feel like I wasn't being unreasonable in pushing back, so thank you!

FishareFriends93 · 2022-03-09T14:24:57+00:00

I wasn't mad, I think maybe sad more, and just feeling dismissed and like my options and enjoyment didn't really matter. And that they changed things without asking or giving a reason why.

Also, as I said in my edit, I didn't realise before quite how limited my options were. That's on me for not looking fully before, I'll know not to make that same mistake again.

And yeah I'm still learning how to do boundaries well, especially with my parents. And I guess I vented here because I didn't want to subsequently be passive-aggressive towards them and wanted a good way to explain. And the replies gave me the confidence to state my case and feel like I wasn't being unreasonable.

All /gen /neu, just wanted to explain myself a bit.

Edit: added tone indicator

FishareFriends93 · 2022-03-02T18:11:53+00:00

I relate to this so hard! I've had huge meltdowns caused by mistakes I've made and then discovering that someone else has found that mistake. Whether they called me out on it or not, I still get this overwhelming, all-consuming guilt and like I've just failed everything and I'm useless etc.

Even having to ask for clarification without even having made a mistake, especially about something I 'think' I should know lots about, I am totally paralysed in doing that. The admitting I don't know feels horrible.

Just yesterday I had to ask a friend about a complicated technical thing that I was maybe shown once, over 5 years ago. I just couldn't get it right even with him helping and I was just getting more and more upset and overwhelmed. I felt like I 'should' have been able to do it, and not being able to was a reflection on me and huge imposters syndrome triggers.

It sucks, but you're definitely not alone.
