*sigh* Just noticed that it works fine the first time you load the game, but it'll strip out some settings when it triggers a save (ics_maxcameradistance and chat_show_time for sure, not sure what else.) Guess it's time to add in some more code to the switcher. :rolleyes:

Edit: extra setting retention code is in and working. I'll release it as soon as I make a couple other changes. Trying not to make poor Dolby approve my uploads more than 2 or 3 times a day. ;)

I think the eq2ui_recent.ini works the same way as the rest of the XML files, and the game is going to do what it wants with that file. But I think the eq2.ini it leaves alone. So I 'think' any settings that are not set by the game in the eq2ui_recent.ini file will just not get saved next time you camp or log, if you put them in that file. So the UI switcher might have to take into account what is in your eq2.ini file already.

Squash them bugs.
I looked at the tracking window you did, not bad.
I think I'm going to dink with that today on my day off.

Hmm lol.... Me not saying nothing ;)

New version with EQ2.ini settings retention is uploaded for approval. As always, some teaser screenshots for y'all to enjoy while you wait. ;)

Within the next few days I'll be going from Beta to Release on UISwitcher. If you've noticed any bugs or thought of a feature that would be useful, but hasn't made it into a Beta version yet, please post about it. I rely on you guys and gals to smack me in the back of the head when I've messed up or forgotten something, you know. ;)

Updates since yesterday's release:
* Added "Get more UIs" button (opens http://www.EQ2Interface.com)
* Added "Refresh" button (refreshes UI list in case of UI install during UISwitcher session)
* Added tooltips to all buttons in main and UIS windows
