Hi Pasha,

I just upgraded to b1.
Everything went fine, but my users settings (such as Bft) were lost.

Perhaps to put up her hoof at the top of the door of the barn? :D

PS: I've lost my locations too.
This happens when you don't close YoWindow 3 properly, thus resulting in a Runtime C++ error.

Guys, at the moment Yo3 does not read Yo2 options.
Right now these are 2 separate programs.
No connection at all.
This is intentional to let you run both inpependently to compare the features.

There is no such a feature as "upgrade".

Please do not migrate to Yo3.
Don't make it your default YoWindow :)

Upgrade to Yo3 will be available closer to the release date.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough.
With upgrading I meant from b0 to b1.

YoWindow can't be closed by the "X" at the right top.
You need to quit by CTRL-Q in order to avoid the Runtime C++ error and thus the loosing of user settings.

Hey, Fred!
Thanks for explaining, now I understand.

Do you still see Runtime C++ error when clicking [x] button?
I don't :(
When I clicking [x] button the window is closed, but the application does not quit. This is the expected behavoir. Just like in Yo2.

Ctrl+Q is the best way to exit YoWindow.

Hi Pasha,

Yes the Runtime error is still there when I use the [x] button.
Like you said the program doesn't close then, so when you close down the computer (Win7) it comes up with a Runtime C++ error.

This is still so on b3.

Hi Fred & Pasha,
I have no problem or error closing Yowindow b2 with the "X" on my WIN 7.
Perhaps you don't have the last update from C++

Fred, so you see Runtime error in 2 cases.
1. When you click close [x] widow button.
2. When you shutdown Windows 7.
Correct?

Try to uninstall YoWindow 3 Alpha and then install it again.
Please let me know if you still experience the Runtime error.

Hi Pasha,

I uninstalled b2 and installed b4.
Nothing's changed:

If I close down any other way then by Ctrl-Q, I get the runtime error upon closing down Windows (!).
So If I forget Ctrl-Q I'm in big trouble.

It doesn't matter if YoWindow 2 is running at the same time or not.

That's it, sorry.

Fred

Thanks Werner,

How do I check/update my C++ version?
