In light of learning of the power of layouts and stuff I started making my own toolbars and I figured out how to save each toolbar as an rsObj using the LE. I have separate objects on disk with each toolbar. Great, but now I can't recall them. I didn't save as layout (stupid me).


Trying to restore them I have created new Library Place for them in the Library Browser, which I've added to my panel and double clicked to add it to the Stack View. If I drag from filesystem explorer onto LE it creates a brick for the toolbar, and I'm doing the drag/drop operation in the same spot as where they were saved: Project/Workspace Manager Window. I expected the toolbars to just magically appear when they were added like this. But they did not. So I checked the properties and they are not hidden either.


So now the problem is I cannot make the toolbars appear because I didn't save the layout. I have checked in Link Editor and they are there, in full, just like they were when I saved them, and they do not show up when dragged off from Library stack view either. So I'm guessing I screwed up by saving them as rsObj and not as tsl?


Is there some trick to load my toolbar rsObj's in and then apply them to a new layout or am I hosed?


Please help :) I spent about an hour creating nice new ones. I promise to share the layout as well - it's mainly for a newb like me to see everything organized nicely. Tiles' layout is awesome but it's also yikes!

just close and reopen truespace and your toolbars should be there or use this on cmd line or in jscript command:
WindowsManager.Activate()

You have to load your Toolbars into Windows Manager Space.
13834
Open up the Command Prompt and type WindowsManager.Activate() then press the enter key.
13833
Locate it where you want it and Pin it (Use the icon on the lower left side of the toolbar handle.)
Save your layout.
