Edit-repair button bar

[blind12]

A very dumb and very aggressive brute i'diot called Windows Defender trashed most of my menubar (default.bar).
It imagines ghosts of ancient long-gone viruses everywhere, and yanks the files away from its handling processes.
If this happens during file write, like Wincmd saving menubar changes, the file gets trashed.

My last backup is from 2021. I'd patch remnants of current file and the rest of ancient file together. But the contents of both are unsorted numbered entries, with no apparent way to sort and renumber them.
Are there reasonable ways to do this? I assume Wincmd itself goes nuts if numbers don't match or duplicate?

I assume Wincmd is still unable to show 2 menubars / secondary menubar, like showing old one for reference?

Only with a script.

Try:
Configuration --> Button bar... --> OK

To visualize and edit bar you can use "Button Bar Editor.exe" from the ultra_tc_editors. (official download link is dead)
This will help you to reorder button, and rebuild an up to date bar from multiple saved one. This is a manual task but it will probably save you some time anyhow.
A good practice is to backup your TC bar, ini,... using zpaqfranz tool to have all your versions into a single file.
