BUG: The filter fields are gone. How to restore them?

[Katharina]

This morning almost all filter fields disapeared. I restarted the program several times and realized that the filter fields are shown for about 1 second as before:



Then it switches to this castrated bar:



I did not change the options in the prerefences and in addition changing them has no impact to this unwanted bar view:


How to get the missing filter fields back?

Welcome Katharina.

There was a bug when upgrading from 7.0 to 7.1 but I thought I had fixed that.

Can you make sure you have the very latest 7.1.0.11 (Help > Check for updates)?

If you have got the latest version and it's still a problem, can you:

1. Attach a copy of your current preferences (ini) file to this thread so I can determine the problem

2. Open the filter visibility settings (View > Task Attribute Visibility) and make an arbitrary change and click OK. I believe this will fix things.

Yes, it's 7.1.0.11. Suggestion 2 was it and I learned something about the third column ;-) In the German version the essential word is not visible:



About the inis: For some reason TDL has 4 ini files. I don't know why this happened. I copied TDL to the OneDrive folder and use it on different computers. The computer I use TDL now is not in this list. On CSL... and EEEPC I used TDL just some days ago but the ini files are much older...


Thanks a lot - for TDL in general and your help!

I suppose that the "strange" INI are forgotten copies of original files. Neither the name nor the file-date shows that it is used by Todolist. What happens if you remove the three files? I think that there will be no effect on Todolist.

Thanks for this suggestion. Since I'm always a bit anxiously I put them in a folder "old INIs", wait and see.
