registry tweak- prompt to save scrap pane

rcfima · Post by **rcfima** » 2005 Mar 28, 00:56

version 1.2.0.0
system win/98/se

at the new install of x2 with all registry entries for x2 purged.
registry default value on left/right panes "binMiscOptions" was 16.

no value in registry text for left/right panes "binMiscOptions" equalled 16.
registry text value for save scrap pane prompt was 64.

i tried two values.

i added 64 resulting in 80 for both.
i changed both to 64.

in both instances.
opened x2. selected file. pressed con-s. alt-tabbed to scrap pane. pressed alt f4. pane shut. no prompt to save scrap pane as cida file.

hmm.

yes, x2 was off.
yes, editor2 was off.

what have i missed here.

yes, another vote for all registry tweaks to be in program options.

thanks all

Last first -- no argument that all settings should be available from within the program. It will just take time to design and implement the necessary interfaces, and I don't know where this issue is on nikos' priority list.

What you may have missed is that there are multiple binMiscOptions variables.
The nagging scrap bit [ CLVOPT_NAGGINGSCRAP = 64 = 2^6 ] has meaning only for binMiscOptions in the key for Scrap view settings and (perhaps) Scrap view dual settings.
That bit has no effect for the binMiscOptions variable under the keys for Left pane settings or Right pane settings or the root keys xlporer2 or xplorer2_UC.

PS - adding 64 to the existing value of binMiscOptions is the correct approach to turn on the feature without changing other settings.
