Remembering screen lay-out per user

Hi,

Starting of with the fact that we're still evaluating, it seems that the application is not storing the screen lay-out (panels chosen, location of panels etc.). Let alone store them per user; changing user doesn't show the users settings.

Is this a result of the fact that we're evaluating or not? I must say that we updated to the latest version during the evaluation period. Before it seemed to store the settings.

Thanks!

Yuri,

The program saves your panels layout on your computer in your user Local Settings folder, so if you login under different user on the same computer the layout will be the same. But if you login under a different user on his computer the progran will show you this user layout.

Hi,

We have now purchased the product; although that is irrelavant to this problem. It seems that custom lay-outs are not always stored / remembered.

I have users that have to reset their lay-out every time they start the application.

It's a problem that is difficult to reproduce. Is it required to reboot the computer after installation or perhaps just logging off and on? Perhaps this is a problem.

Another problem I have indentified with the installer (installShield). After the installation has finished you can choose to start the application by checking a box. If you do that, this always results in an error message and Windows is forced to close the application. Starting it from the Start Menu afterwards is no problem.

Thanks!

Yuri,

At the moment the layout of panels and columns is stored here: C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Local Settings\Application Data\VIP Task Manager Professional\Dsk
Let's say, you log in as User 1 on your computer and have a certain layout. If you logged in as User 2 on your computer, the program will open the application with "User 2 layout" and make corresponding changes in DSK folder. In result, when you log in as User 1 again, the program will open the application with "User 2 layout".
Please make sure, it is not the reason in your case.

Please let me know the exact version and build.
Also please make sure you restart the computer after installation.
