Could they be hidden in the system tray?

I think a good solution is backup the configuration files automatically .
Is it possible configure this ?

I began to investigate the options of the program. One feature of the mouser's zone is a wide catalog of options to be analyzed.

I will comment

No automated backup .

Happen again during my investigation. I lose the commands. I recover with the manual security copy.
But my fault is that I don't take a screenshot of my error.

When I have the program windows on top but not pinned up and call the about windows don't appear. Goes before and under the main window.
If I maximized any other windows then appear over the program window.

I try reproduce my error but don't get it again.

I am observing similar problem with the configuration I have with ScreenShot Captor.
I have installed in portable way.
I have to revise all configurations.

I am taking screenshots. I observ strange things in the configdir.ini file. Not seems corrupted but is another line different to configdir_default.ini

In the other hand I have O:\Mis documentos en O\SOFTWARE GESTION\ProgressBarsOfLifePortableACER\ConfigDir.itemxml that have some entries of the progress bars I have defined.

I have made security copies to try several propositions.

O:\Mis documentos en O\SOFTWARE GESTION\ProgressBarsOfLifePortableACER\ProgressBarsOfLife.ini
and
C:\Users\JOSE\Documents\DonationCoder\ProgressBarsOfLife\ProgressBarsOfLife.ini

don't seems to have any configuration about the defined progress bars dissapeared


C:\Users\JOSE\Documents\DonationCoder\ProgressBarsOfLife\ProgressBarsOfLife.itemxml    -------- seems old bars
O:\Mis documentos en O\SOFTWARE GESTION\ProgressBarsOfLifePortableACER\ProgressBarsOfLife.itemxml   -------- old bars
C:\Users\JOSE\Documents\DonationCoder\ProgressBarsOfLife\ProgressBarsOfLife.itemxml.bak   ----------- old bars i have restored
O:\Mis documentos en O\SOFTWARE GESTION\ProgressBarsOfLifePortableACER\ProgressBarsOfLife.itemxml.bak  -------- old bars

A wonderful mess ,,,,รง

but the configdir_default.ini seems to be totally different :
O:\Mis documentos en O\SOFTWARE GESTION\ProgressBarsOfLifePortableACER\ConfigDir_Default.ini

// IMPORTANT NOTE: Lines starting with // are COMMENTS; you need to remove // to make a line active

// NOTE: When the program starts, it will check for the existence of the file ConfigDir.ini,
//  if that file exists, IT will be used.  If it is not found, then program will fall back to
//  ConfigDir_Default.ini.  So if you wish to overide the default PORTABLE configuration specified
//  in ConfigDir_Default.ini just create your own ConfigDir.ini file.

PORTABLE=TRUE
CONFIGDIR = .


// CONFIGDIR = %MYDOCUMENTS%

// This file (ConfigDir.ini) defines the directory where all configuration
//  files for the program will be stored.
// There should be only 1 actual line in this file that has any meaning,
//  the CONFIGDIR assignmane above.  Everything else here is just comments.
//
// By default it is normally set to the program directory itself, meaning
//  that all configuration/ini/settings/preferences will be store here
//  with this ConfigDir.ini file.  This is also best for when you want to
//  put the program on a usb drive.
// Sometimes it is preferable to store the configuration files in a
//  different directory, like a "C:\Documents and Settings" subdirectory
//  which is designed to store program configuration data, or a custom
//  directory specified by a user on a separate drive.
//
// TIPS:
// 1. You can comment out lines by prefacing them with //
// 2. You can use the following replacements:
//     . (actual program directory -- use this for portable usb, etc.)
//     %MYDOCUMENTS% (like C:\My Documents)
//     %APPDATA% (like C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data)
//     %PROFILE% (like C:\Documents and Settings\{username})
//     %COMMONAPPDATA% (like C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data)
// 3. The specified directory will be created if it doesn't exist.
// 4. If configuration files are not found in the specified directory,
//     any existing configuration files in the app dir will be copied
//     from the app dir to the specified directory.
// 5. If you edit this file while the program is running you need to
//     exit and restart the program before it will take effect.
//
// EXAMPLES:
//    CONFIGDIR=.
//    CONFIGDIR=%MYDOCUMENTS%
//    CONFIGDIR=E:\MyCleverSettings\
//    CONFIGDIR=%APPDATA%
//
// NOTE: the company and application subdirectory name will automatically be
//  added to the path specified (except for %APPDIR% which includes the name
//  already, i.e.:
//    "E:\MyCleverSettings" -> "E:\MyCleverSettings\DonationCoder\AppName\"
//
//
// NEW:
//  You can now signify that an app should run in portable mode (no files saved to anything but app dir)
//  by specifying the uncommented line:
//   PORTABLE=TRUE
//
