Re: Account tree at start up
Hello Robin, This is what you said on Wed, 3 Jun 2009 11:00:45 +1000 your time: So for me the problem is now resolved. Actually, rereading my last reply I can see that it could be a bit misleading. I actually didn't have the problem of TB! always expanding the same account to begin withwell I did a while back but not now. That is, TB! was properly remembering which accounts were previously expanded. I was just curious as to how the last view state was recorded by TB! as deleting the FolderTabs.CDB didn't force TB! to display a default view state, but the last state when I closed TB! So removing the FolderTabs.CDB may fix the problem with TB! always expanding certain accounts, but it seems that some extra info is being stored elsewhere...in the registry perhaps. Not that I wish to drag this topic out needlessly. -- Simon (Privateofcourse) #37362.

However, I found the file under my TB! message base, and backed it up before deleting it. Deleting the file did not have any effect on TB! remembering the last expanded account. My experience was slightly different. Like you, I found the FolderTabs.CDB file in my message base. I closed TB! and renamed the file. When I opened TB! all accounts appeared with one level of folders expanded.The FolderTabs.CDB file was automatically recreated (not sure if it was on opening TB! or on subsequently closing it. Since then, all accounts have been behaving as desired, i.e. they all remember the previous state and reopen that way. So for me the problem is now resolved. -- Robin Using The Bat! v4.1.11 Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6002 Service Pack 2 Popfile v1.1.0 Current version is 4.1.11 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Account tree at start up
Hello Marck, This is what you said on Wed, 27 May 2009 11:18:21 +0100 your time: The bug was introduced whereby the layout was no longer saved. The last layout saved before the bug was introduced is now a permanent folder expansion layout for my account tree. So presumably this saved information is actually stored somewhere and therefore can be deleted? -- Simon (Privateofcourse) #18103.

Hello Alain, This is what you said on Sat, 30 May 2009 17:15:05 +0200 your time: yep, look at %APPDATA%\The Bat!\FolderTabs.CDB I've got my message base and the TB! installation folder on a TrueCrypt volume so the %APPDATA% folder was empty, nothing in it re RIT or TB! However, I found the file under my TB! message base, and backed it up before deleting it. Deleting the file did not have any effect on TB! remembering the last expanded account. E.g. I expanded the last account in my account tree (there are six account) and a few of the branches under it, and then exited TB! I then deleted FolderTabs.CDB and launched TB! again. The same account tree and branches were expanded even after deleting the file. So it made no difference whatsoever deleting FolderTabs.CDB. So maybe the last state is saved some place else. -- Simon (Privateofcourse) #23376.

Dear Peter, @27-May-2009, 08:08 +0200 (27-May 07:08 here) Peter Fjelsten [PF] in mid:1166757651.20090527080...@fjelsten.dk said to Robin: Can anyone suggest why that might be the case?? PF TB has a bug to the effect that the first (topmost) account is always PF expanded and any user setting is not remembered. Here's how I see the bug: Once upon a time, the selected account tree expansion was remembered on exit. The bug was introduced whereby the layout was no longer saved. The last layout saved before the bug was introduced is now a permanent folder expansion layout for my account tree. In my case, the entire account is not expanded, just few selected branches, and always the same ones. YMMV. -- Cheers -- //.arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator and fellow end user TB! v4.1.14.1 (RC1) on Windows Vista 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 ' pgpxAjKVjcmHL.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 4.1.11 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

It is my first account, so I thought I would reorder my accounts and see whether moving my first account to second position would change things.
