latest update messed up my toolbar?
« on: May 12, 2010, 06:27 PM »
Hi

I just updated to the latest version and my toolbar is totally jammed, it is showing toolbar entries from last year. it looks like it reverted back some settings? I have deleted some of the toolbar entries last year, they just popped up again after the update

shouldn't happen -- is it possible you have a second copy of FARR that is being launched?

if you exit your farr and restart it, do the new toolbar entries go away?
im thinking it must be finding an old config file or something -- because i can't think of any way an update could mess with your toolbar settings.
so my guess is that somehow when farr is RESTARTED, its starting up a different copy of farr, or farr is starting up and grabbing a different config settings file than normally.

Well I deleted all the entries just because I was not using them. The thing is that I see that there is a toolbarmenu ini file which has the wrong entries. These are definetely not the toolbar shortcuts I had this morning. Is there another place where toolbar ini might reside?

depending on how you set your configdir.ini file and what operating system you use, it would normally be either in the FARR directory, or in your MyDocuments\DonationCoder\FindAndRunRobot directory.

Ok that is bizarre. The right toolbar config residing in MyDocuments\DonationCoder\FindAndRunRobot, but for some reason Farr was loading from the root.

Copying and pasting resolved it now, thanks
