I never would have thought of that. I wish Microsoft had. I just use the Microsoft api's for saving settings. The reason that I have not compiled for .NET 4 is that I did not want to impact XP users that have not installed it. I think .NET 4 is standard on Windows 7 and 8.

No, .NET 4 is not automatically installed on Windows 7, though I think it is on Windows 8. Windows 7 includes at least .NET 2. But Windows XP doesn't by default, though the chances are high, that another application already installed it.

I am using .NET 2 when possible for exactly the same reason. My other plugin still uses it. But I needed to switch to .NET 4 for the CCVPlugin, because the plugin shares a lot of code with my CCViewer and I needed .NET 4 in CCViewer for some features.

I don't know if it's possible with .NET 4 to create that file with 'Version=2.0.0.0'. That would be the 'backwards compatible'-solution.

As far as I know not. Except maybe if I overwrite the setting myself by directly accessing the file. But I don't know what side-effect this would have. Then I would be at fault if I break the settings of other plugins
Usually Windows writes such a setting file for each .NET application. But because the plugins run in the context of DVD Profiler, they share one file. Seems like Microsoft didn't consider this case. Especially that different .NET versions are used in the same process.

Could you check your 'app.config', there should be something like sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" in it. Maybe (and I really don't have a clue if this is possible) you can change this to 'Version=2.0.0.0'...

Strangely it also says 2.0.0.0
Maybe because the plugin was originally .NET 2.
Maybe this is what was causing all the trouble, because my app.config was not matching my target framework
I have generated my appconfig now from scratch.
Does anyone want to give it a try if it solves the problem or if it just generates new ones?

As posted in the Database Query plugin thread, the proposed procedure made that plugin work finally.

Just a bit more technical feedback here.

I used to have two user.config files is two separate dubdirectories. Each file pertaining to a different plugin. With the .NET 2 database query first, then the CCV plugin installed, I now have just one such user.config, with XML code for both plugins. Much like the long post from Standard.

It appears that .NET 4 can handle the multiple plugin construction, albeit with the provision that the plugin created with the oldest .NET must be installed first.

Ive deleted Bulk edit from my system but all the edit tags are still listed in my profile how do I delete them without deleting every one of them?

Thanks to Mike for sharing some ideas with me offline.

Flag all profiles with Ctrl&a, Collection -> Flagged -> Tags and clear all Child-tags of "Edit" and "Edit" itself at last. Now the tags can be deleted.

cya, Mithi

Oh my, what would we do without you?

hmm, I m missing something, when I goto collection ->flagged -> Set tags -> i dont have that option

IT-standard-answer: "That shouldn't happen."
If you didn't made any personal changes to your layout just reload one of the Invelos standards.
Or Tools -> Options -> Utilities -> Reset all Menus ... that should do the same
scratch that, this brings back the needed "Tags" but does kills several other things. I was wondering how short the menus got. 


cya, Mithi

Working on a patch to BulkEdit to eliminate the "Edited" Tag and children ...
