Hi Steven,

I am trying to open a folder with an XML file in it, but to no avail.

I've downloaded the latest version, but when I try to install it, I get the following message:

"This application cannot be installed because this installer has been mis-configured. Please contact the application author for assistance."

I assume that this is a different problem?

Thanks,

Lucy

Thanks Steven, I've successfully installed the latest version of Simpleviewer but I still can't seem to open a gallery.

I click on Open gallery and choose a gallery folder. After a while it goes onto Images but no images appear. I have created and published the galleries, the XML file is definitely in the folder I'm trying to open, but the images don't display. It means that any time I want to add new images, I currently have to rebuild the gallery from scratch, which is unnecessarily time-consuming.

I have tried it on a laptop running XP and it works fine, so I can only assume it's a problem with Windows 7 maybe?

Any light you could shed on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Lucy

Hi Steven,

You can download an example here http://www.photophrenia.com/creative.zip if you could take a look.

I've just realised that when I try to open a gallery made recently (in v2.2.0), it does open, but any made longer ago (about a year) in v2.1.3 don't open. Could this possibly be at the route of the problem?

Thanks,

Lucy

I am having a similar issue in which I can create a gallery, but I can not open the gallery after creating it. The "gallery.xml" file is greyed out, and I can't figure out how to open it after reading this thread either. The file is also in my gallery folder, which also contains the folder "svcore" (I don't know if that's helpful or not, or if I need to put the xml file in a different folder, but I've tried that as well and it is still greyed out when I go to try to open it).

I have the most recent version of svBuilder-Pro and I'm working on a Mac OS X version 10.7.5

Thank you in advance.

As I mentioned in a post above, when opening an existing gallery in svBuilder-Pro, you should navigate towards and highlight/select the gallery folder itself (not the 'gallery.xml' file within the gallery folder) before clicking the 'Select Folder' button in the 'Select Gallery Folder...' pop-up window.

That is exactly how it should be. This is no need to move or rename any files after the gallery has been created by svBuilder-Pro.
Try saving your gallery to a completely different location on your hard drive to see if this makes a difference.
Make sure that, when trying to open the gallery, none of the gallery files are open in other programs (such as browsers or text editors) which may have a temporary lock on them, preventing other programs access.
Also, when you highlight/select the gallery folder and click the 'Select Folder' button, what exactly happens?
Does the 'Select Gallery Folder...' pop-up window stay on-screen or does it disappear?
