A script I created a long time ago which inserts an image has stopped mysteriously stopped working. I have adjusted its file location, size, but I just get a blank where the rest of the script inserts as normal. The image is a simple logo that I use daily. Can you help? I'm baffled.
Here's a simplified test version which still produces the same results:
-----------------
John Farnsworth
Dunedin
TEST IMAGE 6kb
Image file %FILE_ChinesetherapistZoom_jpg%
The output is this:
-----------------
John Farnsworth
Dunedin
TEST IMAGE 6kb
Image file
John (Dunedin, NZ, as you'll have worked out!)
Image won't display from Text Expander
It seems that the file cannot be found. Try entering the macro and selecting the file again.
Tom, thanks for your reply. I did what you suggested, but no joy. I changed the folder (which was originally in pCloud - used to work fine) to local drive, but still no joy. Here's another example, if you're able to help:
I use SEND then the following short script after using INSERT IMAGE from the INSERT DATA dropdown:
Test file with image
on the line following this
----------
%FILE_FastKeyImages_%
It returns this:
Test file with image
on the line following this
----------
Can you help? The image, incidentally, is a tiny png file (less than 2kb)

In which editor do you experience this? Can you try in WordPad?
Also, check the Paste Delay in Preferences/Text Expander/Advanced - try setting it to 500ms or more.

Thanks for your reply, Tom. I had to experiment quite a bit before replying but your question about Paste Delay provided the solution - although in reverse to what you suggested. I use FastKeys on two laptops. The second, I discovered, could insert the image without trouble - but the paste delay was set to 40ms not 400ms on the other laptop, or 500ms as you'd suggested.
As soon as I reduced the delay time, the insertion was immediate and repeatable. With luck, this is the solution.
I will only add (since other members may have the same quandary), I'm really not clear about how Paste Delay works - so what, typically, is a good delay number or what happens when you vary it. Since I like the FK videos, it could be a useful subject for there.
Thanks again,
John
