------- Additional comments from [email protected] Mon Jun 15 14:05:27 +0000 2009 ------- cd: I see the problem but I don't have a solution I fear there is no good solution at all. The root cause is that the customized menu/toolbar is completely copied from the user settings to the user data of the new version. This results that entries which were added by a new version are not visible. So only copying cannot be the "real" solution at all. Something like merging must be done but. Unfortunately this can be a very complicated task and in the end could also lead to bad results. Think of sub menus which were moved from one place to another one. What to do with changes there? Create this sub menu again in the new version? May be someone create a new menu and removed a old one. Then you are definitely lost. Although I have thought about a good solution for several months now I still have now good solution. The best algorithm I currently see is add all user changes into the new version. If a sub menu is missing it will be recreated. Dependent on the sum of changes between two versions this could result in a good or bad user experience. The only good thing is that the user won't lose his/her changes and could access all new functions. It should be clear that there is no easy solution at all. A short-term workaround could be to add version numbers to user interface configuration files and don't copy user data for all elements that have changed between two version. This would be an "optimized" version of the proposed workaround to completely delete the user interface data. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
