Title: Files/templates not showing up in Vista
Post by: Double Eagle on February 17, 2009, 06:12:03 PM

I don't know if this is the same problem discussed previously in the "No file (load/save) dialogs" post or if it is a Vista indexing issuee.  I think I am starting to hate Vista even more.

I recently updated to TD ver. 2.5.7 and have Vista Home with all updates.  Around the time I update to 2.5.7 I started having issues where my templates and saved files would not display.  If I click My Computer I can navigate to the folders in TD and see the files.  However, when I try to "load" files/templates, only the default files from the TD program are visible.

I have re-indexed Vista but nothing seems to help.  Any ideas?  I have a tournament to run on Sat. and I need to solve this. Thanks.

I'm experiencing the same and I've tried the steps Corey listed twice.

Did you follow the steps in the FAQ?

http://www.thetournamentdirector.net/faq.html#faq5

If you don't see the AppData folder, you may need to turn on the ability to see hidden files and folders (http://thetournamentdirector.net/forums/index.php?topic=1649.msg7704#msg7704).

Are you not seeing the files you need to copy?  Or are you copying them but they don't show up in the TD?

Thanks Corey, that was the problem.

Sorry that FAQ isn't more clear.  I swear I'm going to update that FAQ with more detailed instructions including screen shots as soon as I can squeeze it in...
