Problems

A list of common annoyances and workarounds.

How do I clear out the Pattern Stitches pane so I only see stitches used in my diagram.

Currently the only way is to:

• Save your work (in a .pattern file),
• Close Crochet Charts and reopen it.
• You can find your pattern under 'File/Open Recent' menu. You will then only have the stitches currently in-use shown in that pane.

How do I change the color of all the stitches in a group ?

Sorry cannot be made to work in v1.2

• Double click on each stitch inside the group to recolor them one at a time.

Workaround:

• There is another workflow which can help.
  • at some point you realize you need multiple colors of a group (repeat pattern)
  • so make two copies of the group - color each one separately.
  • then use the appropriate colored group instead of coloring it all at the end.
• If you have an entire diagram in black and white and want to recolor lots of groups:
  • Consider coloring one group and then making a copy
  • Then pasting it everywhere you need that colored stitch.
    • I.e. deleting all the same color groups and then pasting in your colored group at each location.

The text in notifications all seem different and the wrong size.

When you author a new notification, the program seems to size it incorrectly. The workaround is to save the file and reopen it - It will come in the correct size. You can then reposition and edit it.

Notification text - multiple lines collapse into one when reloaded.

Alas you can only use one line of text for a notification (bug in code is not saving properly).

Workaround is to add a second notification underneath the first and turn off the dot (in the properties tab) so that it looks like multiple lines.
