Reading Wizard-Spread Data

Post by Tiaret Dragonshadow »

When I use the Reading Wizard to save a reading, I would like to see information about the spread for each card. Instead, at the top of each card's section I see LWB Notes. Is there a way to change this so that when I save the reading I get position information for each card? I'm currently copying and pasting the information from the XML files for my spreads. Thanks!

Yep, you sure can. You can also add an introduction and ending for all your readings, you do this through the Reading Wizard (F3), Edit the Template for New Readings. From there you can adjust what notes you include (LWB, Personal, Spread), as well as add an Introduction & Summary, for every reading.

I've gone into the reading wizard options and have included all notes (spread, LWB, personal) and it still doesn't show the spread notes from the XML files. Is there anything else I need to do?

A few questions...
What version of the program are you using?
Does this happen with every spread?
What spread are you using?
Are you using a registered version of Orphalese?

I've not run into this, so thought the above might help to track it down.

I'm using version 8.5.1.3, and it is a registered version. It didn't happen to every spread, only the spread I created, but now it does this for every spread.

I've been thinking about this.. and are you opening the spread xml file in notepad or something? That might be the problem. If you are, you might be saving the file with the incorrect encoding, which would make it not work correctly in Orphalese. I found this out the hard way, and lost a ton of card data information. It has to be saved as a utf-8 file encoding.

Try downloading a new spread from the site, and see if it works with that one. If it does, I'm betting that this is the problem.

Also, remember that the template options are for NEW readings. Changing these options won't have any effect on readings that you have already created. Are you trying it with a new reading?
