Hello,

For start as a member of Mysnip forum, I have a simple question. Why I can not pin the project under windows 8.1. My project is marked as a recent project and I click right button, then "Pin the project" but nothing. It is still as recent project. On windows 7 platform it works ok.

Thank's

Hi Sead,

I'm under Windows 8.1 and it works properly (WD19). Did you try to click on the "Pin" icon directly (to see if you have better results)?

Best regards,
Alexandre Leclerc

Hi Alexandre,

I tried a pin icon to the right, but with the same result, nothing. Couple of days ago I completely reinstalled Windev 19, to resolve this problem (It is not big problem, but !) and got nothing, lost some time.

Best Regards,
Sead

Hi Sead,

Could it be some rights issues in writing in the registry? Unless this is the only thing that does not work properly...

Best regards,

Hi Sead,
Try to turn off UAC on Windows 8 and after you restart your system, try to PIN project.

Hi ICI,

UAC was already turned off. I was also searching registry looking for some key connected with this "problem" but did not find anything about that.

Best Regards,
Sead

Hi Sead,
I had the same problem and solved it by chance. I dragged a WDP - File with the explorer on the "Windev 19" -icon on the tasklist. Thereafter everything worked normally. Maybe it works for you as well.
Best regards

Hello Stephan,

It is not problem to "pin the project" on taskbar. It works there. Problem is on Welcome to WinDev 19 window when I am already in WD. On that window I have a list of recent projects and on the top empty list of pinned projects. When I try to pin some project from the list of recent projects (click right button, then pin that project), project does not appear on the list of pinned projects.

Best Regards,
Sead

Hi,

I had the same situation as this under windows 10 and the below steps sorted it out, these steps came from the support department at PCSOFT.

>>This feature depends on the "bookmark.prj" file located in :

C: \Users\ <user>\ AppData \Local\ PC SOFT \ WinDev \

It is an XML file that you can open with Notepad to check the contents .
Or more simply , you can rename it , it should recreate empty and valid.??<<

Very useful to know.
