Bug with layout names?
Using Rainmeter 3.3.2 on Vista. I think there are some problems with saved layout names. When saving a layout as "1234 abcd" and selecting it from the saved layouts list, another layout will be shown in the save box at the left. No problem if the name starts with letters as "abcd 12345". Please see attachement.

Huh. We will make sure this gets fixed before we release 4.0. Thanks for reporting!

Re: Bug with layout names?
This has been fixed the next beta. Thank you for reporting!
The problem stems from how text is sorted between our internal list of layouts and how Windows sorts things in a listbox control (which displays the layout names in the Manage dialog). Although it probably makes more sense to have any layout that starts with a symbol (aka '@Backup') at the first of the list, our internal list sorts symbols between numbers and letters. This is the order in which layouts will be going forward.
For example:

Re: Bug with layout names?
Thanks for the answers.
It's a little confusing for me. I'm not sure which layout exactly will be deleted when selecting one in the right pane. Selected one or displayed one at the left side?
(Unfortunately I couldn't use the next release, because 3.3.2 is the last one for Vista. )

You might want to stay away from starting Layout names with numbers to be safe.

Re: Bug with layout names?
We have fixed this bug and updated the Rainmeter 3.3.2 version available on the main site.
I hate to be a scold, but Vista? Really?

And yes, maybe I'm an old-fashioned man and still like Vista. (Vista+Windows7 Dual boot desktop, Vista laptop, XP desktop, no Win8 or Win10, not yet!)
EDIT: I tried it out. No more problems with layout names. Thanks again.
