I have over 500 folders that .49 all reverted to 'Use folder own settings' (which I, but I'm no native speaker, think would look better as 'Use folder specific settings'). This is Not Good(tm). In the short time I've tried .49, I've noticed the following: * Use account default settings is lost on all folders that had this set * Setting a folder to 'Use account default column settings' results in TB! grabbing all CPU power (goes to 100% if nothing else is running); I haven't waited for more than half a minute to see if it would regain consiousness. As a result, it is no longer possible to reset the column to another setting. * I created a new View mode for my personal favourite column setting. After saving it for the first time and re-opening it, strange things happened to the column widths I selected. 117 -> 167; 21 -> 24; 35 -> 52, 69 -> 79, 380 -> 253 (these are the ones I remember, of each pair, the first one was what I set the width to, the second one what the width was listed as upon re-editing the view mode. * After fixing the column widths to my personal preferences, every OK on this dialog results in an AV. The values are saved now though. * When I first created the view mode, I didn't add anything to the filter tab; it was empty, upon editing the view mode after initial save, an item 'Sender contains [ ]' was added. Attempts to remove it either through the button at the bottom or through the context menu proved futile. * Selecting the view mode as it was now for a folder, resulted in an empty message list. So, I have the distinct impression that this feature isn't 'tip-top' yet, or at least incomplete. In its current incarnation I think I'll wait. Also, I was wondering what the option 'Distribute columns' is supposed to do. Will this only work to distribute a set of settings used by 'Use folder own settings' to other folders with this setting? It would be useful if it would also be possible to mass-adjust the view mode of multiple folders, or at least have the option to quickly set all subfolders to 'use parent' so one would only need to change the top-level folders once. If these quirks are resolved, I think we have a real winning feature added to TB!, one I'm glad I asked for on the wishlist. -- Greetings, Maurice Using The Bat! v2.01.26 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 2.01.49 | "Using TBBETA" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
