This release changes the way favorites are saved and loaded in order to prevent an error message if the favorites saving is interrupted (for example by shutting down the computer while QAP is saving its favorites). This situation will now be handled in a more user friendly way. This release should also solve an old screen scaling issue. Please, test various screen scaling and check the button centering in dialog boxes like "Tools, Manage Hotkeys" or "Help, Show Startup Tips and Tricks".
Version BETA: 11.5.2.1.1 (2021-11-21)
Settings file (quickaccesspopup.ini)
- prevent the error message "An error occurred while reading this settings file" displayed when QAP tries to load incomplete settings incomplete settings files (for main menu and shared menus)
- instead, QAP will revert to the previous favorites list and inform the user that the last saving was incomplete
(technical notes: this is done when saving favorites in a temporary section of the ini file named [Favorites-New] and remane it [Favorites] if all favorites has been saved; when loading favorites, if the section [Favorites-New] exists, it means that the saving was interrupted, then QAP renames the [Favorites-Backup] section to [Favorites] and informs the user)
- now make an internal backup of the [Favorites] section to [Favorites-Backup] even when [Favorites] section is larger than 65532 chars (bypass an AHK/Windows limitation by renaming section name instead of copying the section)
