Title: Slideshow music - Add button greyed out
Post by: Baxter on November 28, 2015, 06:43:44 am

I'm trying to put a slide show together with a soundtrack. I've looked at the tutorials, but my Add button is greyed out as can be seen from the photo. I've looked at preferences and all of menu options, but can't find a way to enable it. I'm possibly missing something very obvious, but it's eluding me at present!

Has anyone got any recommendations please how to rectify this issue?

I'm at latest version 6.3 of standalone running on an iMac with OS 10.9.5

Enable the panel - the switch at its top left.

Thanks so much John. A very grey moment to suit the previous status of the Add button. Matter is solved.

I'm going to plunge myself in the Solent now and will resume the slideshow once I'm home.

Much appreciated.

Plunge yourself in the Solent??? Hm, I guess it's only November.

Seems a harsh self punishment for such a small mistake ;-)

Yes water is still warm, it's Feb time when commitment gets tested. Tide was too high to launch kites today, so will take my dip tomorrow morning.

It was such a basic error, I've only used Slide show once before & LR only gets used for some of my processing. Still I know where to look now if something isn't functioning!

Must admit, I'd never noticed the switch before, so don't beat yourself up. Just make sure you don't ask a really silly question in February or we'll insist on an icy dip.
