Save errors

Hi all, Im a RKLauncher noob, but I love it!!

Been running great on the latest build for a few days, then suddenly, when it starts up, the settings have changed.

Instead of starting on the bottom centre, it appears top left. This was saved in settings as "startup folder"

I deleted the sortcut and tried to redo the settings, but now ALL the settings boxes are unchecked, and when I try and save some new settings, including this one, they will not save.

And if I click on Start with Windows, and select "Startup folder," it just goes straight back to "Registry" and I have to close the settings page, as nothing works on it.

Seems a bit weird! I have searched for this and not come across anything, so if anyone can offer some assistance I'd be grateful.

I have uninstalled it and tried again, and it works, I can alter the settings. But on reboot, its back to square one!!!

I camt find any registry entry, does anyone know where it might be? Perhaps its just a matter of deleitng that?

[[update]]

I installed Yoni's version with the installer (and loads of icons!)

Will post if its any better - nice work BTW Yoni!

Behavior - Save Changes on Exit (check)

Exit RK Launcher manually and try restart it. (right-click exit)

if that for some reason doesn't work, theres a RKlauncher.config file that's pretty straight-forward...

Exit RKL, edit/save config file, reload RK launcher

That indeed works, but when you reboot the pc, its back to where it was.

The settings are all unchecked, and you cant save them. When you click on "Start with Windows" and check "Startup Folder" as opposed to "Registry" the box unchecks itself and it goes back to "registry" and then you cant doanything with it except close it.

After using Yonis installer, I am about to make some changes (icons etc) and will see how it goes.

I had this problem, it all lies in the rk launcher.conf file. When it goes to the top left hand corner, go to the folder with rk launcher in and find the rk launcher.conf file. Notice it's size is 0kb. This is because for some reason rkd deletes the information inside it.

rename the file to rk launcher.txt. open it up and paste this into it:

[settings]

[Language]

langResource = rkl_english.lang

[Appearance]

magnifySize = 92

smallSize = 48

itemDistance = 0

magnification = 1

backgroundAlpha = 150

itemsMagnify = 7

# removed: position = 4

theme = Default

hideIndicators = 0

hidePoofs = 0

[Position]

position = 4

positionMargin = 0

multiMonitorSupport = 0

[behavior]

alwaysOnTop = 0

locked = 0

automaticHide = 0

saveOnExit = 1

saveOnChange = 1

saveItems = 1

itemAnimation = 0

itemAnimationCount = 5

itemAnimationNew = 1

minimizeToDock = 1

useMinMaxEffect = 0

minMaxEffect = RKScaleEffect/RKScaleEffect.dll

minimizePosition = -2

newApplications = 0

newIconsPosition = -4

hideTaskbar = 0

useMarginHotspot = 1

hotspotDelay = 250

hotspotFullMargin = 1

showMinimizedWndIcon = 1

startWithWindows = 0

swwRegistry = 1

swwUser = 0

[Menu]

showInExplorer = 1

showInExplorerLabel = Show in Explorer

hideFileExtension = 1

onlyRegistered = 0

showSettingsAllItems = 0

[Label]

font = Tahoma

fontSize = 12

bold = 1

italic = 0

colorLabel = 16777215

colorEdge = 0

colorShadow = 0

alphaLabel = 255

alphaEdge = 225

alphaShadow = 205

hideLabel = 0

fadeLabel = 0

save it, then rename the file to rk launcher.conf.

This should do it, after i did this it did not f up again. However if you want to make a backup of the file , just in case it does crash, just make a copy of the .conf

I had the same problem.

I believe that the only thing that needs to be added (if it already isn't included) is the '[Position]' section. Once it's added it can be modified and it stays put.

[Position]
position = 4
positionMargin = 0
multiMonitorSupport = 0
