Re: Autocorrect entries lost (again)

Thanks for the INI file. It triggers the problem on my system immediately. It is not about running multiple instances of Atlantis in quick succession. The steps/conditions are: launch Atlantis with your AutoCorrect settings, do not access the AutoCorrect tool, and close Atlantis. Version 4.4.1.2 ...

Re: Autocorrect entries lost (again)

I cannot reproduce this on my system. Can you email your Atlantis.ini file containing your "complete" AutoCorrect settings to support@atlantiswordprocessor.com? Done/sent. I'm currently using Atlantis 4.3.5.3 on my primary computer, and that's the Atlantis.ini file I sent. I have Atlantis 4.4.1.1 ...

Re: Autocorrect entries lost (again)

Atlantis continues to lose my changes to "Replace text" and "Smart space management" on a seemingly random basis. (I make only a dozen or so changes.) I can sometimes go several days without a problem, but other times the problem will crop up multiple times per day. The same problem exists on two ...

Re: Autocorrect entries lost (again)

I suppose your copy of Atlantis is not portable. Do you run multiple copies of Atlantis concurrently? Atlantis stores its AutoCorrect settings in the INI file. Do you manually modify or replace the Atlantis.ini file? You can always open the Atlantis.ini file with a plain text editor, and examine ...

Re: Autocorrect entries lost (again)

There are no AutoCorrect-related changes in 4.4.x releases. Atlantis stores its settings in a file (Atlantis.ini). What do you mean by “reloading my customized settings from file”? What is that file? If it is an INI file, how old is it? The AutoCorrect Options dialog has a Save To File... option tha ...

Re: Autocorrect entries lost (again)

Some, but not all, Atlantis updates reset my AutoCorrect Options (including Smart space management and Replace text ) to default. When going from 4.4.0.2 to 4.4.0.3 this did not happen, but when going from 4.4.0.3 to 4.4.0.4 this did happen. This has been happening off and on for many updates over ...

Re: Atlantis Word Processor 4.3.2 (beta)

Atlantis Word Processor 4.3.2.0 beta a7 I’ve been experimenting with DirectWrite in beta a7 and find that it employs ligatures with some font families but not with others that have available ligatures, and when it does employ ligatures, the spacing immediately after them is often far too great.

The difference is too subtle for me to see on my monitor, but my color picker does show that the different background colors are indeed different.

Is there a way that I can manually set the background color (color code) of my choosing using Atlantis.ini? or any other way?

The Ignore all-caps words option is the likely culprit, as none of the other sub-options have any negative effect ...
