Please help me with some changes I'd like to fix

Postby gwt10 » Sat Nov 02, 2024 6:15 am

Hello, it's been a few years since I've been here. I had to install this Utility on a new machine and find some changes which are annoying.

First, the Tree View keeps appearing everytime I open or close the program. I have to keep hitting F11 to get it to hide whereas on the older version, it seemed to save that "hide setting" without me having to hit F11 all the time. Is there anyway to save hiding the Tree View by default?

Also when I hit File --> Exit, it keeps asking me to save a .bru file. I already have one in there. Why do I need to keep doing that? Why do I need to either create a new .bru one or overwrite what's already in there?

It's also not saving my highlighted/un-highlighted Display Options, either. Is there a way to keep those?

Thanks for all your help. ????

Hi!

First, the Tree View keeps appearing everytime I open or close the program. I have to keep hitting F11 to get it to hide whereas on the older version, it seemed to save that "hide setting" without me having to hit F11 all the time. Is there anyway to save hiding the Tree View by default?


Yes, this is a known issue that needs to be address in the next update.

Also when I hit File --> Exit, it keeps asking me to save a .bru file. I already have one in there. Why do I need to keep doing that? Why do I need to either create a new .bru one or overwrite what's already in there?


Do you have the option File -> Favorites -> Save on Exit enabled?

It's also not saving my highlighted/un-highlighted Display Options, either. Is there a way to keep those?


Maybe related to above. Let me know.

thanks

Thanks for your response. I'd like to turn highlighting off altogether, if it's possible.

Ctrl+H will toggle it (saving the setting in Bulk Rename Utility.ini, so it persists).

There are also additional highlight options in the menu:
Display Options -> List -> Highlight Name Changes
