Tools > Import does not give me options to search for input file

[PLeary]

I'm on v 8.1.2.1.

I wanted to import a custom indicator. When I clicked on the Tools > Import menu, I did not get a list of options (such as 'search for file').

Instead, I get a small, empty box. (see screenshot).

I tried closing NT and opening back up, but get same result.

I haven't even been able to tell NT the name of the file to import, so I don't think it has anything to do with the code.

Hello PLeary,

This likely indicates NinjaTrader Desktop is running in safe mode (you can't import NinjaScript files in safe mode). You can check if NinjaTrader Desktop is in safe mode at Control Center-->Help-->About-->Version.

NinjaTrader Desktop is started in safe mode if you hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard and then double click the NinjaTrader icon. The Ctrl key needs to be hold until you see the Log In window.

Can you please restart NinjaTrader Desktop and check if the issue persists. If so, could it be the Ctrl key is stuck on your keyboard?
