Re: 9.3.3 MSI task bar icon
Hello Thomas,
> Not confirmed. Icon beame blank and useless again.
Yeah, it seems you've downloaded a repacked version of MSI.
Those who downloaded the previous version of MSI (which doesn't invalidate
taskbar icon) please check the "Apps and features" ("Add / Delete Programs",
etc) section of Windows settings - maybe you'll need to uninstall a previous
The Bat! version manually.
But there is also good news :) Hopefully, we've finally figured out how to
tweak MSI configuration so the taskbar shortcut survives through updates, but
this will require reinstalling 9.3.3 from the officially downloaded MSI (i.e.
when the release is officially announced and the MSI is downloaded from the
download page - so we know for sure it's the one) and waiting for the next
release...

Re: v9.4 Styles
Hello George, > Applying styles bug isn't corrected? > https://bt.ritlabs.com/view.php?id=2139 Styling will be back in the next release, I hope. It requires finding sensinble defaults in a true HTML way. -- Best regards, Stefan Tanurkov 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: v9.4 Styles
Hello George, > Ok, How to clear formatting now? Clear format in the styles too not works. It works, but again - in a new manner. It clears styles that were applied after initial class assignment. You can check it out in the new HTML code editor (press F9 while editing an HTML message) -- Best regards, Stefan Tanurkov 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: v9.4 MSI tables from excel and word contains wrong filling and new filling can't be applied
Hello George, > And, Is there any way to not broke things that works fine? and return old > html-core as an alternative to new? (have both and choose in the settings). The previous editor was not HTML, it was using RTF-based thus creating a lot of problems. The new editor has a greater potential and works better in most areas. Those things you're complaining about will be fixed asap. > I can't work nor without clear format nor without styles nor when can't do > pasting excel tables with normal color nor when can't fill cells of a table > that pasted from excel/word. Sounds pretty strange, I've just tried setting different colors for pasted table cells and could do it without a problem.

Hello George, >> Version 9.4.2 is available for testing - >> https://www.ritlabs.com/download/files3/the_bat/beta/tb9.4.2-x64-full.7z > 1) Can I just change 9-3-4 exe to 9-4-2 and test some things? And then I will > return to 9-3-4 > Or 9-4-2 needs to be fully installed as 9-4 before? No, I deliberately didn't post exe-only archives because it won't work without new CEF binaries. Bear in mind, you'll need to backup (rename) your current CEF directory if you may need to roll back > 2) Are you test excel/word color tables pasting according my link? (color > fillings isn't applied, see my mails "Re: v9.4 MSI tables from excel and word > contains wrong filling and new filling can't be applied") The table seems to be too complicated for the current Web version of Excel and I don't have MS Office on my desktop.
