Hi. When i try to set up a new rule. and click the 2nd black box I don't get another small window to insert the name of the rule,,, nothing happens !!

Create the rule first, click apply at the bottom right then click the black disk+ icon and save it

It wont let you save and name the file untill you have added your rule details (in older version you used to be able to give it a name then start creating a rule) now you need to fill out your rule then click apply at the bottom right and then click the back disk with a plus that should let you name the file - have you tried that way?

PS, To do screenshots just press the 'prt sc' button on your keyboard then open up MS paint (installed with windows) and click the paste icon then just save as normal

There is a bit a bug with saving auto files. If you try saving before you put your parameters and general rules in the save part seems to go inactive. So put your parameters and general rules then save. I only found this yesterday, and just recreated the problem, so I’m guessing its a bug in 1.47.

It was actually a bug from earlier versions allowing a rule to be named and saved before even being created which has now been closed in V1.47

To Take a screenshot use Shift + PrtScrn, That copies the current screen onto the c;lipboard. Then open Paint and click Ctrl + V to paste it into Paint and there you can crop the bit you want. Save the result as a a .jpg file. (If you don't understand about Copying and Pasting in Windows, Google it.

To add it to your post, below the box where you type the box click the "Attachments button. Then click "Add Files" navigate to your saved .jpg and select it then click to add it inline to include it on your post.
