Control Bar Issues

There are couple of issues I am noticing with the control bars

1. The custom images on all buttons disappear when modifying some setting in the control bar leaving behind just the label (if set) or the default button number. This always happens and the only way to have the custom images appear again is to restart SC every time. The control bar works perfectly and custom images show nicely until i modify some setting in the control bar resulting in the issue i described.

2. The 'same as' function doesn't work. If i load control bar 2 and want it to appear the same as control bar 1 using the same as function, nothing changes after clicking ok. it also results in issue 1 above. Issue 1 seems to happen every time ok is clicked from the settings window.

im on 1309. If this issue is present in the latest release, then i'd rather not download it yet.

can you look into this? thanks.

1. Could you please be more specific, what you mean by "when modifying some setting in the control bar"? Because we are unable to reproduce the issue you described. Also support for Custom Text Tool buttons and Custom Drawing Tool buttons were added at the latest pre-release version so if you're using them you should update Sierra Chart by following these instructions:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/download.php#FastUpdate

Support for Custom Bar Period buttons will be added in further releases.

The control bar works perfectly and custom images show nicely until i modify some setting in the control bar resulting in the issue i described.

Be aware that setting text for button will clear the image file you have selected. Refer to point 5 at this section:

2. This is fixed and will be released in version 1320.

When I said "modifying settings' I was simply referring to customising the layout of the control bar by opening the Customise Toolbar window (right click on control bar and select Customise)

In fact, i didn't have to modify anything. Simply opening the window and clicking ok seems to cause the issue.

However, you may have answered the question..
Also support for Custom Text Tool buttons and Custom Drawing Tool buttons were added at the latest pre-release

I can confirm that the problem only happens with those buttons. I use custom drawing tools and those are the only buttons that cause this issue. As you mentioned, support for them has just been added.

So ver 1320 when released will not have either issues posted above?
