I have a very strange problem.....at least I think it is. It's probably my bad....
Since the 8.2 update I cannot directly add predefined buttons to my menubars. I have to drag a command to the desktop and then drag the shortcut to the menubar to make it work. It only happens @home, on my work PC it works fine and it is the exact same configuration.
Do you run a Registry Cleaner? It turned out that the other user had run a registry cleaner recently, and it had removed an important registry key (the one defining the IStream interface which is used by Opus for COM operations like drag and drop).
He was able to solve the problem simply by copying the IStream key from another machine and rebooting.
I have uploaded to our website a registry file which will restore the IStream key on your machine. All you should have to do is double-click the .reg file and tell it to add the entries to your registry. Then reboot, and see if it solves the problem.
I still can't create a new toolbar. I click on the new button. Name the toolbar. It shows up but I am unable to check it. Then the next time I try and define a toolbar the last one I created doesn't show in the list.
Your problem with creating toolbars sounds like your account doesn't have permission to write to the directory where the toolbars are stored.
Which directory that is depends on whether you're using shared or per-user configuration in Opus. Shared configuration will put toolbars under Program Files, e.g.
Good guess on the permissions. But it's not the case. I'm the only user and have all priviledges.
I can actually create the new button file, test.dop, in this case. But I can't edit it or activate it. And if I exit the customize menu and come back it doesn't show on the list of available buttons.
But you gave me an idea. And this is what happened. For some reason DOpus was looking in the shared directory when it should have been looking in the Per-User directory.
Cool. Don't know why it was looking in the wrong place but I'm glad it's sorted now.
If anyone else has the same problem and comes across this thread, you can change between per-user and shared configurations via Preferences, Miscellaneous, Miscellaneous where it says Change the configuration mode the next time Opus is run, below which it tells you the current mode.
I've been having a similar problem. I can no longer drag and drop new buttons onto the toolbars, but I can still right click on them and add a new blank button. Not a big deal I guess, but its still an oddity. I think the problems started right after I tried adding right/middle click functions to a couple buttons, and then deleted one of them completely.
