I've had these problems ever since upgrading from v6 to v7. XMM will not remember my chosen layout - each time I start the program I have to manually choose the layout I use.
It's also not remembering which columns I want displayed. I use the Column Chooser to set it up the way I want, then when I come back into the program (or run an update) all the columns re-appear and I have to do it all over again.
I love the program, but doing these things over and over is a bit frustrating. Is there a workaround for these things, or something I'm overlooking? |

Hi Christopher.
Having the exact same problem as you describe: http://www.binaryworks.it/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5189
Alessio is aware of the problem. In the meantime you can select the "view" tab, save your layout and use load layout whenever you start the program. It's not ideal, but it works  |

Hi Alessio.
I am indeed running Vista 32-bit (SP2), but I don't think thats the issue as I:
Have UAC switched off.
Am an Administrator.
Have installed XMM in C:\Users\myusername\Documents\eXtreme Movie Manager 7
Could you tell me which files it is that gets updated? then I can try to track down what happens. |

OK, a bit more info:
The XML files in the \layout folder gets written alright, and the content is also as it should be. I have a working setup in a \layout\work\ folder, if I copy all those files to the root of the \layout folder, XMM still does not display things correctly upon startup, but only when I manually load the same files via the load layout button.
To me this indicates that XMM is somehow parsing the XML files wrongly on startup, but correctly when done the manual way. But then again, you are the only one who can say for sure |

Alessio -
I'm running XP SP3. The program is installed in the default locations - c:\Program files\Extreme Movie Manager; the database files are written to "My Documents\extreme Movie Manager 7". I also have "My Documents\extreme Movie Manger", which is left over from version 6.
The layout not being saved is easy enough to fix by loading the desired layout each time I run the program, but the columns not being saved is more problematic since there are so many that have to be sorted, and I only I use a few of them. Getting rid of the ones I don't use takes quite awhile, and I've had to do that a lot. |

Hi Christopher,
Ca you make an experimento for me? Copy the whole folder of extreme movie manager "c:\Program files\Extreme Movie Manager" to your desktop (you can make a copy, just for test).
Now launch the new exe in the desktop and let me know if XMM remember the columns here.

Hi Alessio -
I did as you asked and copied the directory to my desktop and launched the program. The same thing happened - XMM did not remember column selection or layout. |
