Some pref was reset when I updated to SP2

[Bruce Kieffer]

I received a message saying some pref was reset to the factory setting when VW opened after updating to SP2. I have no idea which setting that might be, but I am curious. I wish it would tell me which one instead of being generic. It knows, I don't!

I think Jim explained that in a "SP2" thread.

Nothing to worry is all I remember.

 

But it would be nice of course if warning message could say what Jim said.

That message will be completely removed in future versions, we just didn't want to delay SP2 just for the sake of removing it this time. 

 

This time, it was adding a new preference to maintain the setting of collapsed docked palettes, but this preference never existed before so it reports that it failed to load it from the previous one.

I wish all of these messages that appear during startup didn't halt the startup process (this is one example, "Error Loading Vision Library" is another). I often walk away from my machine or do something else while VW is starting up and to find the startup process hung up by a dialog is not a great process. Its not like we can solve the error mid-launch anyway. It would be much better if these errors appeared after the launch was completed.

I had to read this more than once (yes, I'm very s l o w) @JimWI like the cut of your jib!

 

Don't suppose I could interest you in making sense of the Brexit negotiations.
