Hi
I found two problems with Font Groups:
1. I updated the contents of one of these folders, but the previews did not update in MainType7Pro (latest update)
2. I deleted a Font Group, and then recreated one using an identical folder name, but different fonts. The previews still showed the old fonts.
How do I update the previews for a Font Group when the folder contents change?
Thanks
Richard

I don't understand it, so could you please post some screenshots to illustrate the issue?
Did you recreate a folder in windows or a group in MainType?

This is reproducible. Steps are:
- Create Font Group in the "Groups" panel.
- Remove\add fonts from the folder the Group points to
- View the Group in the Groups panel >> the fonts are still listed in the group
- Delete the Group and recreate it with the same name >> The fonts are still listed in the Group
- Create Font Group in the "Groups" panel.
- Remove\add fonts from the folder the Group points to
- View the Group in the Groups panel >> the fonts are still listed in the group
- Delete the Group and recreate it with the same name >> The fonts are still listed in the Group

Is it a group or a sync folder?

It's a group folder but it's not set to sync - I want to manually install\uninstall fonts as I need them rather than install all 7000 files into the Windows Font folder. Is that what you meant?
My Group settings are below:

That is what it is supposed to do if you enable "Create groups after indexing...".
If you just want to create a virtual group, do click the second toolbar icon at the top of the groups panel.
