JPG GPS Location column in detail view

Post by OldSchool2 »

I had to do a system repair on my PC. All settings were kept but I have an issue in x2.

I no longer see the GPS columns in my detail view. The columns are not there. If I try to select the columns to display the GPS information, they are not available to select.

I checked "Advanced options" and the "System property list" shows it's set to "System.GPS.LatitudeDecimal,System.GPS.LongitudeDecimal" which should be correct.

I have deleted all my custom column configurations and tried to create them again, but the GPS columns no longer show in the list of available columns.

My X2 installation is still registered according to the About box.

Any ideas?

I tried everything to get those columns to show again but had no luck.

I ended up rolling back to a previous Windows image taken from the night before.
Now everything works again.

I didn't want you spending time on this for me since I have rolled back and have things working again.

I'm stumped at why it stopped working after doing this process:

If your PC is experiencing problems, especially issues related to Windows Update, you can use the Fix problems using Windows Update recovery option to reinstall the current version of Windows.

It worked well and I didn't have a lot of other problems. I was surprised it worked as well as it did. Usually these recovery processes really screw up settings and installed apps, but not so much this time.

(just guessing) perhaps the windows update foobar'd the property system somehow. You can try DESKRULE that has these kinds of columns enabled naturally and see if they fail to work there too e,g trying out the map search
