Picture - how to remove?

Post by inchtalla »

I was experimenting putting a picture into a diagram - that worked - but how can I remove it? Yes I know it's an idiot's question but I've looked at the manual and can't see the answer - probably because it's so obvious -thanks

Have you tried clicking on the picture to select it and then pressing the delete key?

Yes, and was surprised there wasn't an option to delete.

Agreed, but that is normal throughout FH.
In most cases right-clicking Records, Fields, etc does not offer a Delete option.
You must select the item and press the Delete key on the keyboard.

Yes that is what I did - but still there - I'm using windows 7 on a Mac.The image when selected has the usual anchor points but refuses to delete?

Solved it! - selected as suggest then Edit > delete selected. However I would suggest caution in case you have selected more than one item and may delete more than you want.

Well spotted - perhaps the iMac - Win 7 combo doesn't map the iMac keyboard Delete key satisfactorily for Win 7.
Does the keyboard Delete key work in any other FH scenarios?

I shall add the Edit > Delete option to the FHUG KB somewhere.

As you will have gathered from my other basic questions I'm not that experienced with FH - I use it only to create charts.
However with Mac OSX 10.7.5 running Parallels windows 7 - the normal deletion Key seems to work and the instance with deleting a pictures appear so far to be the only occasion it hasn't worked. If I notice anything else I'll let you know - again my thanks your help is much appreciated.
