Congratulations on the v6 release Yuri.

Thank you

Юрий, Огромное Спасибо за новый релиз, отличная программа!
p.s. уже обрадовался что сейчас обновляюсь, но как всегда заминка с русским языком. Опять останутся не переведенные некоторые пункты меню, от чего портится впечатление в целом. Да что ж такое то, неужели не хватает времени перевести эти несчастные несколько пунктов и выложить обновленный перевод, прям болезнь какая-то у Вас с этим. На бету тоже просил просил, обещали обещали, так и не дождался!

Сделал, качаем.

Спасибо! Теперь я счастлив!

Yuri, good work, well done! I was waiting for this release

Thanks for including the caption changes they're handy. Very quick work!

One question: what's the hotspot near/far margins do?

Thanks again,
Paul

One question: what's the hotspot near/far margins do?

This can be used with the auto-hide toolbar to shift the area where you have to point by mouse to show the toolbar (hotspot). Near margin is the margin from the left of horizontal toolbar or from the top for vertical toolbar. The far margin is from right/bottom.

Example: you have the auto-hide "full row" toolbar at the right side. Very often you get toolbar poped up when you try to close the maximized window, just because you move the mouse to the right side of the screen. If you set near margin to 30 (or more), you'll fix this problem. To show the toolbar you have to place the mouse pointer to more then 30 pixels from the top.

Yeah I had the problem of toolbars popping up when I wanted to use the scrollbar so an excellent enhancement but unfortunately it doesn't work for me.

I set the Hotpspot near and far margins to 50 for both horizontal and vertical toolbars but they still popup over the full length of the toolbar.

I restated TLB and noticed that the settings reverted to zero. So I set them again and checked standalone.xml which had correct values for hotSpotMarginNear and hotSpotMarginFar but on tlbhost restart they did indeed revert to 0.

Thank you for bug report. I've reproduced this bug. Here is the fixed version. I'll publish the official update if this bug and the bug with toolbars relocation will be fixed.

I still have a problem with this, HotspotMarginNear and Far are now set correctly and maintained on tlbhost restart but the toolbar is still showing along the its full length.

Maybe my explanation of this function was not precise enough? I've prepared the small video to show how these margins working: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJ5ZhRvPvD4
