My trial ended the other day and my paid subscription just started, but I still can’t use some of the menu items such as Rename, Export, etc. I downloaded and installed the most recent version and restarted but still have the same problem.

I’m on Mac OS Venttura 13.5.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Tim

Sure, here’s a screenshot showing the menu items that are grayed out (not active)…

Thanks,

The grayed out options are only available when you have something selected in the project and they only act on those selections. To rename the project, you have to back out to the main screen and change the name there. Same goes for duplicating a project.
