Sometime ago my command bar in CMUD started going wonky. More specifically I could type and use it, but for the most part it would look blank or empty unless I undocked or moved the window. I tried enabling disabling the command line, docking and redocking etc to no avail. After playing like that for a while it became unusable, but shortly there after you recommended that the used start CMUD with the default layout buying holding down Shift when they chose open offline and that would reset the layout. And it did and that worked great except now none of my buttons are being displayed.

I have buttons, I have my tool bars defined and my buttons enabled but they are still not getting displayed. Enabling/disabling the buttons or otherwise changing their values doesn't help; and redefining and resetting the toolbar locations (i.e. Top, Down, Left, Right) doesn't help. Oddly enough a newly defined buttons will display. At one point I converted my main window to a module and back to a window but that did not help either. I've tried copying it and that didn't help either.

Does anyone have any other ideas? I've sent Zugg my layout and package files.

Did you try deleting your layout file and rebuilding it? At one point, somehow my layout got saved onto the default cmud.xly instead of the named .xly file but that was back in the beta period. It turned out that CMud was completely ignoring the named .xly file, so deleting cmud.xly as well as the named .xly files I'd created before fixed things--of course, having deleted cmud.xly I then had to reinstall since (at the time?) it wasn't an auto-created file like zmud.ini.

Dunno if that's been changed yet, but since you were having command-line troubles I can't imagine it'd hurt anything.

Deleting the layout and tbz didn't help. It's definitely a package thing, because I went to an earlier version of my package and they're back. Just hope I don't lose my command line again.

Feature Request: It may not be needed in 3 months, but any chance of a built-in package versioning system? This will be especially useful for those who develop packages for mass distribution.

What do you mean by built-in? There's a version field in the package properties that gets passed to the Shared Package Library. Is that not what you mean?

I think he wants it to keep previous changes he has made in case he wants to go back. Sort of like restore points in case he liked an earlier version that worked properly.
