Favorites in Resource Panel need to be refreshed in 1.8.xx

[hcwxyz]

Starting with v. 1.8.xxx, favorites (for me, 5 KN files) no longer appear automatically but require right-clicking the panel and selecting the "refresh list" each time any KN file is opened. This feature worked flawlessly in earlier versions.

Hello @hcwxyz
I am testing what you point out with the latest version, 1.8.3 and I can't find anything abnormal. In my case it recharges automatically without any problem.

Could you try renaming your .fvr file and creating another one from the new version adding some files, in case there was something strange in that file that was causing problems with the new versions? Are those .KNT files that you indicate added as external elements or as locations?

Daniel, thank you so much for investigating this issue (and for your excellent program)! I followed your instructions, but no change in behavior. The favorites are all external files on my hard drive; a copy of the contents of the new replacement .fvr file is inserted at the bottom of this message. I just now tested with a location within a KN file – this also did not automatically recharge. A few more details, in case they may help: I have KN installed with the same configuration on a Latitude 5520 and a Latitude E5450, both with Windows 10 Pro, latest update, .KNT registered, not portable; configured for only one instance at a time. I am the only person who uses these devices (only one KN profile on each device). The recharging issue occurs on both computers with v 1.8.1 .08 and v 1.8.3.1, even though the particular favorites differ on each device. There was no problem on either device with v 1.7.9.9 Beta and earlier versions (I skipped other versions of 1.8). On another note, ss you may already know, downloading the v.1.8 setup files from GitHub, and then running the installation file, prompts Windows Defender to pop up a notice that the file is not safe and asks for confirmation to proceed – I don't remember that happening with earlier versions. I use only the Windows built-in security programs + PIA VPN.

In your tests, do you have the resources panel closed or open when opening KeyNote?
I understand that your .fvr file is located in the "\Profiles\Default" folder. Is that correct?

Can you do any other tests?

1. Rename your Macros, Plugins and Templates folders, to rule out loading any of them being the cause of the problem.
   Open the file and check if the problem persists.

2. Rename your configuration file, keynote.ini, to open the file with default values, in case any option could be affecting it.

And finally, can you check what system codepage do you have? (See the following issue to see what I mean: #618 )

Hi Daniel, I followed your instructions on both laptops. It appears the problem is somehow related to the .ini file – when I renamed my .ini file in the "\Profiles\Default" folder, allowing the file dated 9 Dec 2023 with default values in the parent folder to load, the favorites correctly recharged automatically. However, this happened only the first time I tried it. Thereafter, oddly, opening the program that way fails to recharge the favorites, even though I'm careful to again rename the newly generated .ini file in the "\Profiles\Default" folder. Manually refreshing always works, so the underlying links/shortcuts are presumably intact. I keep the Resources Panel open at all times, with only the Favorites, Scratch and Find tabs visible; "Load the Resource Panel data only when necessary" is unchecked in Options, as in previous versions; the program default configuration still has that option checked. My .fvr file is located in the "\Profiles\Default" folder. Renaming the Macros, Plugins and Templates folders (prior to renaming the .ini file) made no difference. The "Current System Locale" in my system codepage is set to English (United States) [this is correct]. The "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 …" is not checked.

Hi @hcwxyz
At the moment I can't think of what could be happening. I'll try to think about it another time

Regards
Daniel
