Anchors not available in hotspot editor

Unread post by Olivier Beltrami »

Hello,

When editing an image's hotspots, the list of anchors for the selected topic is not available (or at the very least it is not for links to anchors of the same topic).

Very best regards,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

I just checked this with the current release version of HM9 (9.1.0 Build 6440) and I get the anchor list in the hotspot editor for both the current topic and any other topic. Are you really selecting the topic link option and then clicking on the hotspot object to select it before opening the topic ID and anchor lists?

Hi Tim,

The issue seems to arise when linking to the same topic, as it is pre-selected on the right (a nice feature). But, if as you suggest, I re-select the pre-selected topic, then the list of anchors is filled-out. It seems that despite the current topic being preselected, one needs to manually re-select it. Perhaps this is fixable ?

Very best regards,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

We've been testing this extensively and we can't reproduce what you describe here. The anchors are always there right away, also when the current topic is selected automatically. If possible, please make a small video of how it happens with you and mail it to support AT ec-software.com (replace the AT with @) so that we can see exactly what is happening on your system.
