Re: Folder / File Locking Issue

Yes, those affected are functional after wiping the registry key and letting it get re-created from the new version on first start. We're working as we need to now.

Re: Folder / File Locking Issue

They can't be entirely identical (unless you're just comparing relevant parts on some of the keys). They are nearly 7KB in size difference. Any which way, I have no other samples readily handy. The process that worked for me was upgrade to the new version, delete the entire [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwa...

Re: Folder / File Locking Issue

We appear to be working properly now with one of our highest impacted users. It took a combination of upgrading to the most recent version as well as clearing out the registry key for Tracker Software under HKCU. It appears some leftover registry key is causing some grief that vanishes once we start...

We have run into some new behavior with version 7 (7.0 Build 324.3) that wasn't exhibited in version 6 that we need to get figured out--whether a bug, or some option we aren't aware of.

I just wanted to check back in and find out if this feature was still being considered to make the default chosen paper type be set depending what the region is of where this is being installed (ie: Letter for people in the USA, or A4 for regions that typically use A4 for their paper size, etc.)

Thanks and I do appreciate it. It's really only a problem for us here in the U.S. as we don't use A4 by default.

Correct--going to the properties for the PDF printer, then the Settings tab to change options still doesn't save any changes. It's still required to go to the Printing Preferences context menu after right-clicking the printer to change options and have them stick.
