Any of the betas/ultimate versions can read/save their settings independently via INI files stored in their installation folders. Use Options -> General -> Save Programme State on Exit liberally.

Re: the time is nigh... v3 BETA
Thanks for that. I forgot about saving to an ini and will make the change.

it is but you won't like my answer: you just have to remove all the buttons with right click and then re-define them in the desired orderfuxs wrote:Is it possible to change the order of buttons in the Quick Access Toolbar

Will that be changed in the released version?
Re: the time is nigh... v3 BETA
the ribbon is very stubborn and fixed in its own ways. Sorry about that but microsoft thinks that LESS customization is best
Re: the time is nigh... v3 BETA
Odd. I can't test the new beta with the ribbon. I tried inputting my key and it said that my key expired even though the upgrade page on the website said I'm eligible for an upgrade since I purchased back in August I think I'm not doing something right here...
On the other hand, I'm surprised that nikos fell for the Ribbon. Seems like he got infected with the Ribbonitis.

Re: the time is nigh... v3 BETA
if you bought in august you'll get a free replacement key but you must try again once v3 is out
however even without the key you should be able to test this beta in "trial mode" (?)

Re: the time is nigh... v3 BETA
I actually can't since it said that my trial expired. Probably because I hate xplorer2 pro and ultimate installed on the computer in the past. Currently I'm just sticking to using ultimate without installing it. Oh well, I can wait again till version 3 officially comes out.
Oh after I typed above, I realized I can just delete my settings file and start fresh with a trial. It's only when I try using my configuration will it tells me the trial expired.

Wouldn't it be better if the ULT version, that is portable, would save by default its settings in the ini file in the installation folder?
Re: the time is nigh... v3 BETA
Yeah I think that would be a nice idea. Or just provide a zipped version of the ultimate version with a default configuration file. It's much better than repeating install and copy the files whenever you need to update it.

MS ribbon based applications offer a nice little config dialog for that... But thanks anyway.

Re: the time is nigh... v3 BETA
the office ribbon and the ribbon available for 3rd parties are not the same. We can't get all the fancy stuff sadly
Re: the time is nigh... v3 BETA
For the Office 2007 Ribbon QAT, there are files created in the user's AppData\Local... folders containing the XML definitions. Does the x2 ribbon generate a similar file? That file (e.g. Excel.qat) can be edited outside of the application to add/remove/rearrange the icons.

hey, that suits me to a T, if all of yous got free upgrades then I did all this work for nothing
@pj the poor man's ribbon used by xplorer2 stores its settings in the registry. It is a binary format so probably you could somehow decipher it if you would care to hack it but there's no "official" way to do it
