Saving Process Icons disabled
« on: 2016 January 10 15:06:44 »
I am having a strange issue on my PI 1.08.04.1195 (x64): I cannot save my process icons.

First of all, right-clicking on the minimized process brings the same menu as when left-clicking it (capture1).

When I right-click on the PI desktop then I see a larger menu but despite having a process highlighted, the menu option to save it is disabled (capture2).

In former versions of PI it was working just fine.

Did anyone see this before? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

What you have on the desktop are not icons, but minimized processes. To make an icon, open that process, then drag the triangle at the bottom left of the process window to the desktop. That is then the icon, you can rename by clicking on the small 'N'. You can then save the icon.

See the following links:
