DMD 1.4.1 Toolbar Zoom Bug?

[plcnut]

OK. I found it. It works fine on mine...

I haven't got time to try this right now, but I still need to install 1.4 on this computer and I'll try to do it tomorrow and test this idea. My coworker just fired up his (v1.2  ), all defaults still, and the zoom icon works. I, on the other hand, have customized all of my installs as far as the toolbars go. I know I saw that zoom icon once work somewhere on one of mine, but no more.

So, does it matter if the toolbars have been customized?

I don't think that can be the sole issue, because I usually customize and I haven't seen this issue.  (Core 2 Duo Laptop, 2.4Ghz, 8GB, 1920x1200 NVidia, Win7 64; Core i7 Desktop, 16GB, 1920x1200, Win7 64 bit)

To duplicate the bug, that may be THE critical point.  We will play with it a little...

This is one of my not yet optimized copies if it helps.

So far, I can report that I can reliably break the zoom icon. But I can't tell what it was I did.

I installed a new copy of V1.4.1 on a computer (XP SP2) that has only had v1.3.1 on it.
I installed from the zip download at ADC, not using the upgrade button.
I let it put everything at the default locations (which I don't usually do due to C:\ bloat.)
Zoom icon worked fine.
I added Zoom In and Zoom Out icons - still good.
I changed to small icons - still good.
I changed to text only - still good.
I removed some of the unwanted icons - still good.
Exited and restarted DMD - still good.
Changed DmDesigner1_4.ini DecimalDigits=4 to 6 - still good.
Changed some other items in options, but not in Ladder View - still good.
Up to this point I had exited and restarted a number of times but not at every change.
I now exited and restarted and Zoom icon now always goes to 35% when any value is clicked. Always and forever.
I have tried putting the ini back, resetting as many options as I could remember except toobar settings, exit and restart - always broken.

Is there an easy way to reset back to scratch without uninstalling? I will try again if so.

Zoom Icon Break Located (I think)

As much as possible, I reset everything without reinstalling DMD 1.4.1.
To break it I only have to uncheck Help in the Offline Toolbar, exit and restart.
To "repair" it, I check it back, exit, restart and the Zoom icon works again.

I tried checking all the Online and Offline buttons to "on" in DMD 1.3.1 but no joy there. It has a lot of customizations and I don't care to change it.

Wow, even I can replicate that one
Just goes to show that turning off all toolbars is the only way to go!

I can duplicate it.  I should be able to fix it.

Ha! It took me nearly that long just to figure out some way to reliably make it happen.

Will this be in a future version or ... ?

Thanks.

We were planning on it working in 1.0 

It will be in the next release, which is actually due out "soon".

I've been going through the registry with Regedit and found a lot of old DMDesigner version that are no longer installed. Do you have a clean-up utility to remove all the old unused registry entries and unused other files? I have no plans to reinstall any of the old versions.

1.4.2 is now "shipping" with this fix (along with a few cool features).

I have updated today and haven't yet tried the zoom, but the cut and paste is very welcome.
