Hmm...  you've got a point there.  It's made in the way that rather than changing an ID, it creates a new window with the new ID, copies the attributes (but not controls), and then deletes the old one.  I'll have to change that...

I never even thought of that. 

Well its a complicated program i gues you cant have evrything right the first time
But i realy like it, it has helped out a lot. Probably in the 5% most usefull scripts for msg plus

It's good to hear.    Hopefully I'll have these problems fixed in the next version. 

Please note that this is a beta version!  If you find any errors, please post details here...

Well, if it happens again, see if there's any similarity, and also check the debugger for clues in there (enable the debug option first).

I have a two suggestions:

• You might want to make the settings window a bit larger, to improve user-friendliness.
  
• I see the benefit of the Help guide mode, but I think it looks a lot more professional to make a little help button in the title bar

Don't rush to an update though; these suggestions are only to change the visual appearance of the script and not to fix any bugs

Could do, and perhaps I'll split it into categories with figure elements and legend keys.    I'm thinking of adding more options as well anyway.

You mean like you've done in your Video Converter Plus! script?
