Reply To: Not able to save toolbar settings after i exit XMetaL

[Derek Read]

Every time you exit the application the default.tbr file is written to as well as the TBR file for any DTD that was used during the session. These files store information about how the user has customized their toolbars and menus (added/removed buttons, added custom toolbars).

Every time XMetaL Author starts up it reads per-user copy of default.tbr and then for each DTD that is loaded it reads the per-user copy of the TBR file associated with that DTD (or XSD), ie: .tbr. The default.tbr sets up menus and toolbars for XMetaL Author when no files are open. Then when a document is opened the TBR file for that DTD (or XSD) is loaded and the TBR settings are added / subtracted from the default.tbr file to come up with what the user should be seeing for the current document.

You can delete TBR files if you want but if you do so all custom settings that your users might make will be destroyed.

Per-user TBR files are stored in the locations I have listed in my previous post.
