Hello,
My phrase files works great but now i can't edit from Fastkeys anymore.

When i choose a phrase file in text expander section i can see the %dir%\Phrases but when i click on Open, the substitute field is replaced by random codes like this for example : 0x3b0d30

Thnak you for your help,
Best regards

Can you please specify the exact steps to reproduce this? Open button is used to select a another phrase file. Use Edit file button to edit the phrases.

Steps to reproduce. Text Expander panel, tab Phrase files:
  • Right click e.g. Fractions Phrase File entry then select Edit..., which opens the Text Expander window.
  • The Substitute panel has the entry
    %dir%\Fractions.fkp
  • Click Open button -> the Substitute entry is replaced by
    0x30c9e
    or similar
The question is: how can the content of Fractions.fkp be opened within FastKeys for editing its content?

Sorry, I cannot reproduce this. After pressing "Open" button, the file open dialog should appear where another phrase file can be selected. What exactly do you do the get 0x3b0d30?

Select "Edit file" button to edit the phrase file content.

I can't find a "Edit file" button (FastKeys Version 4.25). Where on the UI is it available?

Thanks and kind regards

You need to select Type: Phrase file.
So the question is how could you get a Type dropdown selection blank?

No idea, i did nothing. As you can see from my printscreen, the "Edit file" button is missing too.

Now I have made a new FastKeys installation and taken Settings.fdb from original installation and settings.ini half-manually from the original installation. The missing functionality is now here again.

No idea how this was possible. Could it be related to the portable setup? I'm using the registered FastKeys version since 2016-05-30 every day.

Thanks for the support and for delivering such a useful software!

Oh i see Nicolo have the exact same problem.

I'm using 4.25 portable and before this problem i was able to edit directly the phrases files in Fastkeys.

@Markus, there is no phrase file type to be selected.

If you can't see what happens, maybe i will try to reset my configuration.

Thanks anyway fo your great application.
