[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4599511, member: 70778"] The menu can have options selected and leave them as well. That is why programs started having INI or initialization files to tell the program what options to turn on/off at startup. And your second bit explains exactly why the beta is poor because they are not effecting changes for people to test the changes to make sure they work. All the more reason in cases of a database test you start with smaller amounts of data and test the heck out of the UI first. Then add the data later when the UI is working. They opted to go the other way and make a fixed UI and not properly test it for use but stuck things wherever for people to have to find. Yeah it would be dumb to have to select each option each time it starts, and that is one of the first bugs to remove, but again this is a beta test of the demo product and not the full product, and the full product will not get beta testing at all.... :erm: This is why demos are made from the full tested product and then you just disable the things to cripple the software to the limits you want the demo to have. Not make the demo and test it and hope the full product doesn't have 1000 more bugs in it that weren't taken into account and properly tested for. [/QUOTE]
