Menus and toolbars customizations. Where are they storage?

Post by cadudesun »

Hi,

I was thinking my menus and toolbars customizations were storage in:
C:\Users\...\Documents\Corel PaintShop Pro\14.0
I had copied all content of this folder to restore after have formatted my computer. But menus and toolbars weren't restored when I replace all the content of this folder.
So, I lost all my customizations. Does anyone know where they are storage? What should be the folder to be backed up in order to recovery menus and toolbars customizations in new PSP installs?

Thanks!

Quick question: Did you save the workspace first?

Workspace customizations in PSPX4 will be saved to C:\Users\...\Documents\Corel PaintShop Pro\14.0\Workspaces folder. But ONLY after you save your workspace.

To save your workspace go to the FIle menu, go to workspaces, and select "Save..."

The "Save Workspace" dialog will pop up showing you a list of currently saved workspaces. Click on the "Include Open Images" button if you want specific images to open when you load the workspace.

The "New Workspace Path:" will tell you exactly where the workspace will be saved to.

Give it a name in the "New Workspace Name:" text box. Then Click Save.

If you use the same name as a workspace that already exists it'll ask if you want to overwrite the original workspace file.

To back it up just back up the workspaces folder pointed to by the "New Workspace Path"

Actually,
I just have recovery my workspace and the "structure" really was there. But the toolbar I had created wasn't there. I mean, in "custumize=>toolbars tab" I had created a toolbar that my saved workspace didn't restore when I load it.
Is there another place where the toolbar customized ("custumize=>toolbars tab") is saved?
Or should it even be handled by workspace and I am missing something?

It should be saved by the custom workspace. Is the custom toolbar visible in the View->Customize dialog at all? Maybe it is saving the toolbar but the toolbar just isn't turned on by default.

I have sure the toolbar was visible when I saved the workspace.
The problem is that after I have formatted my computer and install PSP/load the workspace, my custom toolbars weren't even listed in customize/toolbar.
So they weren't or they are missed in forgotten realms!!!
This is second time I was expecting to restore customizations, since it gives a plenty of work and take long using time to be made :(

Just had the same problem.
For some reason I had to reload my workspace and my custom tool bars were missing both from my workspace and the toolbar list in the customize section.
