Color filter Blues

Post by surrender »

I have my color filter for office documents like *.doc;*.xls;*.ppt;*.pps etc set to blue (R=0, G=0 and B=255). When i close and restart XY the color filter is reset to white (R=255, G=255 and B=255). :?
Interestingly, Blue (R=0, G=1 and B=255) has no problems.

Can somebody setup a dummy filter and test this??

This is happening since the 5.20 version

I've just tried this setup...and...yes! I have the same loss of color! :cry:
I suspect it may be related to improper testing for corrupt INI file... :roll:
Trying various blue colors, I find that when Red=0,Green=0,And BLUE exceeds 127, then color gets reset to WHITE!
Seems that ANY value for Red or Green, even 1, keeps them both from being set to 255
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!
(XP on laptop with touchpad and thus NO mouse!) Using latest beta vers when possible.

Oh yes.. actually I had that too (couple of filters reset) when I started the new beta, but was busy so I just assume it was a one time thing and forgot about it :roll:

Just restarted XY, and yes, the 2 filters (0/0/255 & 0/0/160) were reset again :( I've added 1 to "bypass" this for now
Just to be clear, filters are not really reset to white, as j_c_hallgren said red & green are set to 255, but blue isn't changed (ie you can get some kind of yellow, etc ;)).

But we don't get a message when the program corrupts the ini file!!

Wow, you really are into this Sherlock Holmes approach to bugs! Your results are correct.
And, BTW, the bug is fixed. It was not "improper testing for corrupt INI", but I rewrote the crashing part so that I would not crash, and, well, made a little mistake...

I'll let you off them since you do such an excellent job 99.9% of the time.
