Offine Preview has stopped working

IE7 preview pain

BUMP! When I upgraded to IE 7 I got exactly the same problem described. ie no grpahics in the page preview. So I uninstalled IE 7 and reverted to IE 6. Problem soved? Kinda. While Actinic now worked ok, Amazon Seller Central did not. Reinstalled IE7, and Amazon is fine, but once again Actinic is not. Sigh. So beware: if you install Internet Explorer 7, decide it is not for you and uninstall it, it might not leave things exactly as they were.

If you have not installed IE7, take it from me, you are not missing that much. I would wait for some of the bugs to be ironed out.

Like Casio, the the properties path for an image is all wrong:

file:///C:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Pete/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/NewHeart%20Trading/Misc%20photos

Actinic (?) seems to be screwing up the root directory path?

cdicken - you said this cannot be fixed until there is a new version on IE7. Can you explain why? And if this is a bug within IE7, have Microsoft been made aware of it?

Moan over!

Ie 7

Thanks Duncan. Glad to read Actinic tech support are on the case!

Is there any update to this I have had the exact same problem after updating to IEv7. I have just uninstalled IE v7 and version 6 is now the default and everything is fine now with Actinic.

I really liked IEv7 too! gutted

[cdicken]

Fairly soon we will be releasing 7.0.7, which will be compatible with IE7. Keep an eye on the forum, as we will be letting you know as soon as a beta version is available to download.

Pleased to hear this Chris as this is a such a pain to have to deal with and makes updates and writing copy very difficult.

Sooner rather than later would be appreciated.

I agree, it's muffed me up real bad. When I change a price of an item it doesn't get reflected in the preview window either now. I have to publish and go an look to see what it did.

[Duncan Allan]

A work around I have found is that if you change the pane view from say preview on bottom left to all below or vice versa it will update. But only does this the first time.

Rather than uploading to check your changes close Actinic and reopen it and the changes will have been updated in the pane view. Saves using bandwidth and time.

Has this been cured yet?

[cdicken]

As soon as the next maintenance release of v8 is out the door (very imminent) we'll get to work on the v7 patch to deal with these IE7 issues (and also some Vista-related issues).

[george]

Cheers boss.

[Duncan Allan]

No it hasn't and I am very annoyed that it is taken so long.

I can't keep on working like this.

IE7 problems

As we have been waiting about 4 months for some action, I think the time has come for Actinic to offer a FREE upgrade to version 8 (if that works with IE7 as we are told it does) to end the frustrating and time wasting need to keep jumping in and out of different screens to see the updated products in Actinic v7. More and more users will have the problem as Microsoft constantly bombard you with their automatic updates. I have also noticed that several other programs no longer work correctly after IE7 is removed and IE6 re-instated. That just adds to the frustration of using Actinic V7. Come on Actinic - do the decent thing and keep your V7 users happy.

[george]

Lets hope decent Actinic support for v7 continues for a while yet though, I'm sure there are many people (like me) who simply don't have the time or inclination to re-learn their website software which v8 requires. (I qualify for the `free` upgrade as we have cover).

I'd imagine there are no upgrades in design, best seller lists, email marketing, etc planned for v7?

Seconded George,

Can't spend time on upgrade and a learning curve and have to troubleshoot it. Too many problems it seems first off and still fails to address many features that are global and uncontrollable, - like shipping if instance.
