solved [TC 11.03] Changing a button in a button bar can make the button bar permanent, when write access is restricted

[petermad]

If I have loaded a button bar file from a folder where I don't have write access (for example in a subfolder to "C:\Program Files"), and I change a button in the bar (by right clicking the button), then I get a dialog telling me that there is an error writing the file - and I am offered 3 options:

"Copy it to a directory in your profile"
"Grant yourself write rights (requires admin rights)"
"Cancel"

If I choose "Grant yourself write rights (requires admin rights)" then that button bar is made the default without warning. That is unexpected (and annoying).

If I change the default button bar back to what i was, and then load the button bar, that I now has write rights to, I can change it all I want without having it set as the default button bar - it is only the first time where the write rights are granted, that the problem occurs.

This should be fixed in Total Commander 11.50 beta 1, please check it!

15.07.24 Fixed: When saving a button in a button bar failed and the user chose "Copy it to a directory in your profile", the new location was stored as main bar even if the bar wasn't the main (please note that the links to that bar need to be changed manually) (32/64)

Confirmed fixed in TC 11.50b1.

But I think the text in history.txt should be changed to:

15.07.24 Fixed: When saving a button in a button bar failed and the user chose "Copy it to a directory in your profile" or "Grant yourself write rights (requires admin rights)", the new location was stored as main bar even if the bar wasn't the main (please note that the links to that bar need to be changed manually) (32/64)

I didn't check that second case, did you check whether it was fixed for that case too?

[petermad]

did you check whether it was fixed for that case too?

yes, it is fixed for that case too
Actually "Grant yourself write rights (requires admin rights)" was the case I originally reported.
