Layout Snapshots

Since upgrading to Logos5, I have noticed that nearly half of my layout snapshots are unavailable.  In place of the snapshot is a label that reads "Application Closed."  What's up with this?  Layouts I have named are still available, but many of the rest are not.  This is something I never saw in Logos4.  Any ideas?

    Peace, Vance!

                I also am curious.  Just opened one of my "application closed" layouts, and it appears to be the same as the one I was currently using........

     In place of the snapshot is a label that reads "Application Closed."  What's up with this?

    Whenever Logos 4/5 closes normally, it saves a snapshot of the layout (=whatever was open) when it closed. These are labeled this way. (This naming convention began late in the L4 cycle of updates - if I'm remembering correctly.)

    These should be available, though. What happens when you click on one?

     

    EDIT: Clarified the first point a bit.

    Hmm... okay - I'm not sure what happened here.  I was getting just the message, with no actual snapshot displayed.  Now they are there - just not dated like the rest.  And I can click on them to load the layout.  (For some reason Logos still goes "unresponsive" for a bit as the layout is loading - not sure why since I am using a brand new, fast computer with 8gb ram - maybe a Windows 8 issue?)

    These "Application Closed" and your named layouts are sync'd to your other installations, but Logos no longer sync the image.

    The layouts without an image come from another system (the Laptop). So it helps to distinguish which system the "Application Closed" belongs to!

    My Layouts are not showing if I click on it. If I click on any layout that shows, L5 shows a totally grey screen (which is being saved as a layout by the way). On my desktop it works fine, but on my laptop from work it is totally grey. Anybody else got this problem? Can it be solved?

    I do believe that the layouts are sync'd across your various computers when saved. However when you close the application in one  computer and then open L5 on another computer, this is how it shows the previous close on the other computer...

    I read it somewhere in the forums, but am willing to be corrected if I am wrong.

    Does your Layout menu look any different to the screen shot  of mine, above? 

    If you are getting a totally grey screen when you click on any layout, you could have a corrupt database. So delete the following file and then restart L5:

     ... \Logos4\Documents\randomId\LayoutManager\Layouts.db
