Yuri,
I just tried the 6.6.4 beta. It's the first one I have ever tried that disappointed me. It DESTROYED my toolbar layouts. Reverted them to three or four column menus that didn't completely show. Moved items around. Didn't show complete captions (and turning on word wrap was ... not good). I reverted to my backup that I had saved prior to testing it out. I also managed to blow TLB out of the water at least once in experimentation. I have a win7x64 system with multiple monitors. The TLB is on the second monitor and I accidentally left the property form of an item when I went to Restore. TLB disappeared, which means rebooting the computer. A dumb mistake, but one that might be accomodated by a check for any 'open' menu/property screen before allowing Restore to commence. Then the dimmer lights of the universe won't get to exercise their knowledge of cursing [G]. My next step was to do a complete uninstall of TrueBar, through RevUninstaller. It went almost smoothly, with TLB itself throwing up a error screen just after the ip add-in uninstall. Since I was using Revo, I was able to delete the rest of the leftover files and one registry entry after the TLB uninstall concluded (this is NOT proper form). I then re-installed 6.6.3 beta. And my next post will have to detail that since I'm now rebooting the computer.
Yuri,
The recovery, including re-registration process, back to 6.6.3 ALMOST worked perfectly. I had customized several of the sub-menus off menu buttons on the TLB and their skins didn't survive the recovery. Not all that important and I've opted to leave them all with the default skin. And, of course, the add-ins all failed to survive. That required re-installing for the free space widget and the calculator. I've discovered them to be necessary, the others not.
Just for information's sake, the layout that got clobbered by the 6.6.4 install GENERALLY had each sub-menu running multiple columns with no sorting with each icon having the FULL text to the right of it. Word wrap checked on. That's it. Please let me keep that layout in the future.
It IS a beta, after all, so some quirks are inevitable. That it took this long for one to affect me is a testament to your programming. Thank you for your efforts. GM
