SPOT - re: Layout Icon script problem

fultro wrote on 4/28/2005, 5:41 PM
I customized my toolbar right after I got the V6 upgrade (what's it been , two weeks?) and all was fine with it (the toolbar).
Today I found your Layout Icon script at VASST and installed the two folders into the Script Menu folder as directed. They showed up properly in the Vegas scripting menu. I added them to the toolbar and they worked fine ( I have been wanting something like this for a while).. But I then closed the app and re-opened only to find the entire toolbar had reverted to the default.
Not one to give up easily and wanting to be sure of what it might be I deleted the folders, reopened Vegas, customized the toolbar and repeatedly opened and closed the app - 30 times at least - custom toolbar staying intact.
I then put the Layout Icon folders back in the Script Menu and then opened and closed Vegas about 20 times with all staying put. Next I customized the toolbar with a few of the Layout Icons, confirmed that they worked, closed the app and then re-opened to discover that my toolbar had defaulted again.
In other words it doesn't seem to be that the folders are in the Script folder, but that the toolbar has been customized with them.
OK - this only happened twice but it happened immediately upon customizing the toolbar - and I can't check it again - but I would sure like to have this great idea working - Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, and I am sorry if this is the wrong forum to be asking, but I didn't want to muck up the users commentary at the VASST site seeing as how it was all positive comments..

Fultro, this would be a question for Nat, since he wrote it, I'll try to catch him on IM and get him in here to respond. It's working fine for me, but it is a bit tricky.

Sorry Spot - I had been downloading a number of your .vegs - I thought this was yours- I'll do the follow up if you tell me how to contact him with this info

This is very odd, I recently changed things regarding the icons and I will see if this causes the problem.

Fultro are you sure its going to the default layout and not that the script icons are there just invisible? (if you move your cursor over where they should be, you can tell)
I noticed that that bug has reared its ugly head in V6 too.

Yes, please check if the icons are invisible or not. There will be a fix shortly for this problem. (The invisible icons)

thanks for looking into this Nat - let me know..

epirb - By default I mean the state the icons are in on an installation . After I do a radical customization of all the other icons and then add Layout Icon, everything returns to that default on a restart of the app....

ahh so even the Vegas icons are going back to default.
understood.

Nat any additional thoughts on the dll-ema with the icons? (see my other post)

Not really, sorry

If you go to Tools - Rescan Script Menu, the icons will usually reappear.

Do you think this will restore my customized layout of the stock Vegas icons - I have my doubts ... but will be willing to give it a try when I have enough time. Anyway - I'd rather have something I can rely on - you know - like Windows -:)

Maybe I am not running the "latest,greates" but my layout icons are working fine in V6....I even customized the .png icons to better suit me with no problmes at all.

Good luck.
