running Win XP SP2. i downloaded and installed TTX, but i can’t get it to work. i drag my otf onto the icon and i just get a back “not” symbol and no resulting xml file. i know it’s worked for me in the past... is there a setting somewhere i need to toggle? please help.
actually... it looks like none of my drag and drop behaviors are working. i just tried doing the same thing with a .jpg to my photoshop icon and got the same “not” symbol. what to do?
Try opening a command console using ’cmd’ from the Start/Run menu. Then try running TTX from the command prompt. If this works, the problem is definitely related to drag and drop. Have you tried rebooting?
it was drag & drop. it had stopped working for some reason, but i found these instructions on the web:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/dropbat.htm
and then just substituted “bat” by “exe” and now it’s all good. thanx for the help, john!
Paul,
are you using the Windows build that I maintain (http://www.font.org/software/ttx/ ) or some other?
A.
i’m pretty sure it’s the one you maintain, adam, but not totally sure. the problem was a windows problem though, and not with the tools. everything is working properly now that i restored drag/drop functioning to windows.
