Re: Show layer thumbnails
Thanks for that tip. I'll switch them off and see if it makes any performance difference. If it works I'll make a couple of shortcuts to switch them on and off at will because having them switched off permanently is also not ideal.

No joy. Same problem.
grrr
Re: Show layer thumbnails
OK, here's the latest news on this. The problem is definitely associated with the Page and Layer Gallery. I thought I had it cracked when I found a soft group that could not be ungrouped, soft or hard. Being the page footer, the group appears on all pages of the site so I removed it and recreated it so that now it behaves normally as one would expect. The P & L Gallery appeared for a couple of minutes to behave well and I thought I had it sussed, but on clicking open a page and selecting a layer the program stops entirely and if I click a second time anywhere I get the "Not responding" alert in the title bar. I have to wait a minute or so for it to respond. However, the wait is now bearable so it looks like the corrupt soft group was responsible for at least part of what ails me.
I'll come back and report if I find a solution.
Re: Show layer thumbnails
I'm currently in bed so having to use my laptop to work and i'm doing seo on that same website and the wait is once again interminable so today we will have an answer, come hell or high water. I have, in between interminable waits, deleted all but the template page and saved it as a debug file. The page has 13 layers and I've narrowed it down to one layer. Deleting that layer removes the problem, but it's also the most complex layer so deleting it in the production file is not an option. I will have to delete objects one by one in the P&L Gallery to find who is the culprit... in between interminable waits - i'm coming to despise the windows 7 "hourglass"
i'll get back to you one way or another with a reply

Re: Show layer thumbnails
I've cracked it!
The problem was/is a complex bevelled shadowed clipviewed text group - i deleted the text group and the page & layer gallery behaves and i can actually use the program

damn, i'm so glad to have found it :D
i attach the file so anybody who wants to can tell me if they too get the "hang" on hovering the mouse over the thumbnails in the p&l gallery - i'd be interested in any feedback, is this a bug? or just a corrupt bevel group?

the problem now is i'm going to have to convert the logo to a png and replace this in every page of the site. it's the site logo, it's their logo, i can hardly mess with it in any way now, lol :thx
at least it's the last time, i guess, i'll have these interminable waits =D>
Re: Show layer thumbnails
Can't see any 'hanging' here
