HELP! My House preview screen is gone

[Charles Belcher]

Gil/Keith/Anyone,

My show laptop has been in the garage for about week doing FPP stuff.  I just brought it into the house to work in xLights.

When I open xLights and go to any sequence, the House preview is blank.  I checked "perspectives" and it is still set on my custom "Dual Monitor" view I used for months when programming.

Where did it go and how do I get it back?  BTW, now all views give a blank house preview.

______________________

Partially solved.  I deleted the Perspective key range in the xml file and now the house preview is still blank unless
I click on an invididual element, then it shows up in the house preview.  This is good enough for the small tweeking I need to do, but NOT for a re-work of a sequence.

Is it a case of View->windows->Reset to Defaults?

Directly editing the xml file is a risky behaviour.

Keith,

I just looked to see if something stood out.  So what do you suggest?

If I were you I would jump into zoom. From your description it is hard to be sure exactly what you are doing so having some folks actually watch what you are doing would help validate the issue.
