Pour ma part, j'utilise votre outils en mode préconfiguré mais j'ai du rester en version 3.11 car votre version 3.12 extrait le fichier ini à côté de l'exécutable.

Malheureusement, le dossier n'est pas accessible en écriture et je ne veux pas que les utilisateurs puissent aller voir la configuration.

En tout cas, votre outil est bien pratique et modulable et je vous en remercie.

For my part, I use your tools in preconfigured mode, but I had to stay with version 3.11 because your version 3.12 extracts the ini file next to the executable.

Unfortunately, the file is not writable and I don't want users to be able to view the configuration.

In any case, your tool is very practical and modular and I thank you for it.

Thanks for letting me know. I've fixed that problem in v3.12.1.

Just a heads up, I've rewritten that function. It's now called Embedded Configuration. The command line is /embed <inifile> <outfile>

Check the manual for details.

Dear Glenn, I started working in a new Company and they are using Dekstop Info for the Support Team. Since they have Version 3.5 I was thinking about and update to newest 3.12. But when I do so a Button doesn't work anymore. See in the Picture marked with an arrow. That is actually the most important part as it leads to the Support Page. What am I doing wrong?

This is the ini file:

I changed slightly the button algorithms and broke some bits and neglected to document some bits. With the buttons the default sizing is gone. You now need to specify the width and height of the button in pixels.

Thank you very much that was it 🙂 

Dear Glenn, the alignment is somehow not working as it should now since the new version is installed (see picture) I dont see why at the ini file. You have any idea? Thank you , cheers.

@mikeb That jpg is too obscured to be of any use.  make a simple ini file that illustrates the problem.

Dear Glenn, see picture attached that's the ini file. 

Thank you for your time. Cheers

@mikeb which item is in question?

Dear Glenn, so what is happening is the entire text should be displayed at the bottom right, which is what happens, but can be seen with a slight blank space from the right side in the screenshot. This blank space is showing with the new version 3.12. I've added a new screenshot so you can see the blank space better. Thank you

Dear Glenn, maybe I did not explain it right 🙂 so when you look at the picture the space in red should not appear at all, does that make sense?

I could not find what setting is causing that. Thank you 

post your ini and i'll take a look

@mikeb It seems to behave the same as it did in v3.11.  I recommend you remove the height option and set the width to something more appropriate in the [options] section, and adjust the CONTROL width to fit.

[options]
# Size And Position
bottom=10
right=1
width=250
#height=400
column1width=-1
auto-scale=0
ignore-setting-change=1

@glenn thanks a lot that was it 👍
