I cannot view my Inner Child deck when I click on My Decks. But if I open up OPT program, click on Packs (on the drive I have it installed on), It shows the deck is there with all its cards, and .xml.
BUT,(while in OPT) when I click on the folder for Inner Child, it will take me to my other drive where I use to have the beginning deck file when I was creating the deck. What gives with the misdirection?
Is this a bug?

Re: Missing Deck?
Hi Barbara,
When you say OPT program, I am not sure what you are referring to - I guess you mean Windows Explorer or something similar, like the Google file search program?
Normally (nearly always as far as I can tell) when the Orphalese Tarot does not recognise a deck it is because there is something wrong with the 0 card. There HAS to be a card named 0 or 00 followed by jpg, jpeg, gif, bmp or whatever for the program to recognise it as a deck. Otherwise it will assume it just some folder full of your holiday snaps or other documents. It would be possible to make the program do a whole battery of tests to recognise decks but the problem is it would end up doing them all the time, which would impact on performance. The second part of the question is obviously about the OPT program, so I can't answer that.
Hope this helps, please feel free to set me straight if I misunderstood the question.
Best

Re: Re: Missing Deck?
Sorry. When I refer to this program, I use OPT as an abbreviation.
I haven't had any problems today with my Inner Child deck being recognised. It is numbered perfectly, starting with zero. I guess I just needed a reboot?
Speaking of seeing a folder full of snaps.. I was doing a deck to put into my program when I accidently put a picture of my daughters and I into the deck. LMAO. It was funny to see us as the Fool! I have to watch myself when I am using that IView! .-)

Re: Re: Re: Missing Deck?
You could be on to something there, it sounds like a novel way of sending someone your latest photos - turn them into a deck of cards :)
To make a new deck that you just copied into the packs folder appear in the My Decks list you only need to press Refresh at the bottom of the list. And the list is loaded afresh when the program starts anyway, so that is why it turned up after a reboot.
