All Trend Figures have gone blank - ???

[Cave Dweller]

Happened a few days ago. All of my trend chart figures have gone blank. The chart figures in the activity tab dont seem to be affected and still show.

I have tried to go view>reset layout> default and the chart data appears again, but it disappears again when I try to make changes (for example, changing the PMC method of calculation).

Thanks

What do you mean "changing the PMC method of calculation" ?

As in changing in the present section from PMC (Coggan) to PMC (Skimp).

Seems I have to add the CTL / ATL / TSB lines again in the curves section. I dont remember ever having to do that in the past. Also doesn't explain why all the charts went blank in the first place and I had to do a hard reset back to default and reset everything back the way it was.

Thanks as always to the GC crew for the software!

You mean changing the charts on the left side.

You have downgraded from a release candidate/development build without restoring.

You need to reset the charts using the charts menu -> reset to default

Here is the screen grab of adding a new chart.  Add chart > Metric > Preset > PMC (Coggan) = gives me blank chart.

I have not downgraded GC.

I can go to third tab (Add chart > Metric > Curves) and manually add the CTL, ATL and TSB lines. But none of the preset charts are loading, only the ones that are hard coded in when I do the hard reset which I have already done before posting this.

Thanks

Reset Layout doesn't reset the chart library, you need to do a Reset to default on the Charts menu at the left sidebar, as Mark has pointed out above.

Hi - 2 questions on this... 1) I presume there's no way to recover custom charts after a reset correct?  (I also assume I should have exported them first!)  And 2) I'm still not able to get ANY Trends charts from the Left margin menu to work after a reset... any suggestions?

I'm on v3.5-DEV1806 from June... everything had been working, but I recently tried to add to custom charts, one that included VAM and another that included climb rating.  Neither of these charts produced results... like they didn't work.  But afterwards I noticed that NO trend charts from the left menu work... for example I can select the PMC chart from the menu near the top of the chart window and it works, but if I select PMC(TriScore) from the left menu nothing updates (even if I try to force an update with a different date range).

I've reset to default charts twice and closed and reopened the program.  I could try to update to Dev 1810 but understand that there are already some issues on trends with that release right now.

What else should I try?

Did you ever get this sorted? I am using the latest dev release. I deleted a chart I had created. Afterwards, none of the Trend charts in the left sidebar now display/work. I restarted and no change. I "reset to default" and still no change. 

[Ale Martinez - No direct email please]

May be you deleted the "Library" chart?

I could not find that particular particular configuration dialog. Maybe I really have gone blind. However, using that as a clue, I did some additional googling which led me to View > Reset Layout which fixed the problem. Odd, but whatever, it is working again. 

Also noticed that this apparently updated many if not all of the default charts and their settings. I suppose that one should probably do this layout reset after each upgrade.

Thanks Ale!

See https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/UG_ChartTypes_Trends#curves, Reset Layout recreates the Library chart

That’s right but beware it also removes any customization you have done, if you want to preserve a custom chart you can save it to a .gchart file to drag&drop after Reset Layout
