Library Refresh Issue
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2022 8:05 pm
New to MainType so I may not be doing this correctly.
After installing the free version I see that it apparently has scanned the system font folder (Windows/Fonts) and both the Active and Library view shows the same font count.
From a flash drive I copy to the HDD a folder that contains additional fonts. The Library count increases correctly.
As a test, I deleted a number of the fonts in the new folder and the count goes down in the folder shown in Groups.
What does not happen is the count shown in Library does not change ---- it remains at the total count.
I did a "Refresh Font Folders" with no change.
I did find that if i manually select all the appropriate fonts (shown as Not Installed and not Loaded) and "Delete" them, the Library count follows - decreases.
If I have removed the fonts from the new folder and that correctly shows in the folder group, they no longer exist - how can I get them out of the Library and the font list -- is there some other refresh or rescan command that I have missed?
The only thing I found so far is to reinstall the entire program --- then the cache and database is completely rebuilt......gotta be a better way.
Thanks
