[Fixed] Settings Reset..

[Snacko]

I'm running v7.0.3 ATM on Win11...   Today, when I opened the Toolbox, all of my settings were gone.  It had the default setup.  So, I backed up that Toolbox Settings.ini file, and restore it from a backup.  It's back to normal now.  Except it now all of my Systray icons are on the top.  I manually dragged the hidden ones back to the drop down. 

I'm not sure what caused my settings.ini to be reset today.  I've been running v7.0.3 since it came out, through today.

The Systray issue was probably because my backed up settings were from 1/25/26.  And didn't have that new feature in the ini file.  When I went into TB settings the checkbox was unchecked.  Toggling it on and off didn't re-hide the icons.  I suppose that's how it works?

So, not sure if there is anything to fix?  Just FYI..  Maybe something to think about what could have happened.

Not sure what you mean by this. Which systray icons? And dragged what to where? What "drop down"? Sorry, I'm confused.  Toolbox doesn't move any systray icons, but you mentioned in another post that you use "Stardock Start11" (a third-party toolbar tweak app) to put the taskbar at the top of your screen. It's probably changing the desktop in ways that Toolbox can't work with. If something else is modifying the OS then I can't make Toolbox work with it.

As for the "Toolbox Settings.ini" file being deleted, the app itself doesn't do that. Possibly it was trying to save itself on logoff or shutdown and got corrupted due to the timing. I'll code a failsafe for that in the next release.

Showing all systray icons is just for showing them all. It can't re-hide any if you untick it again because it doesn't keep track of which were previously hidden (their state can change according to the user, which I can't track). So it's just a blanket "show all" like the popular request on Reddit and other forums.

For v7.0.0.4: The app no longer tries to save its settings on logoff/shutdown. In addition, they're now also saved to a temp file first, and only if that temp file is successful does it become the official settings file. Both of these should prevent any settings loss in future.
