Hi all - something seems to have happened to my lavastorm instance - now whenever I open up a graph the canvas is white as opposed to the usual yellow, and the graphs show ticks over the nodes that have been run but don't show the record counts at each output node as they used to. i've put a screenshot below for reference.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Go to Tools...Preferences on the main BRE window and then select the 'Display Modes' tab. Make sure that the Record Counts check box towards the bottom and BRD Data (Green) and all the I/O Coloring check boxes are checked (ticked).

I think that will solve this problem. Let us know if this is not the issue.

Thanks

Hi - I've re-enabled the I/O (record count was always ticked actually) but the problem is still there (even after re-running node from scratch). It should be noted that the canvas is always white even when I open up LAE for the first time (i.e. don't open a specific graph) - could there be some corruption in the ini file?

Once, I messed up the INI file by hitting PASTE of a very long text string (with multiple separators) into the "Search Field" box by accident.
Any chance that's what happened to you?

Hi,

yes, actually I had looked up a few strings in the graph before it became like this, so this could well be the case. What is the best way to fix it please?

Many thanks

I am talking about the Trace Field dropdown box on the main toolbar, not the Edit/Find option. If you type "bad data" into that field, it unfortunately can affect the ini file.

I'm sad to report that there's no clean way out of it.. you must re-set your desired preferences manually.

One thing you could do is rename the existing BRE.ini and then let the editor create a new one, then compare/contrast the preference settings.
Probably better to just try to modify the current preferences back to something usable.

Thanks for the help everyone - it was the .ini file. I tried to reconfigure it based on an associate's .ini file but in the end it was faster to delete it entirely and have BRE recreate it.
