RE: Log Encryption Help?
The two dialogs don't need to be 'linked' together.
It was never meant to work like a link or button you can press, or something like that, to see the hint.
The correct dialog is shown in function of what password you typed in the first attempt. The hint-less dialog will be closed and the hint-enabled dialog will show up when you type the wrong password.
It is of not much use to show a hint when you know the correct password anyways.
-------------------------------------------------
This said, there _are_ some problems with the dialogs and the hint-system:
There is also a bug in the Log Viewer where the hint-less password dialog is shown twice (that is: it is shown, and when it is closed/cancelled it is shown again), which might prevent the proper dialog (eg: with hint) to show up.
And together with this, there is also a bug which seems to store a 'broken' hint string (instead of an empty one) into the registry which causes the hint to not appear the next time or something like that (can't recall it properly anymore, need to look things up again for this).
And it also depends on what password and hint was set as the current ones in the preferences, and what was used in already stored logs (because the password and hint can be different per log), this can cause some confusion too.

Again, can't remember it all correctly anymore and I need to look things up again to describe it better. It is a combinations of things. Either way, the hint dialog does work though, but it is relativly easy to 'break' it too or to be confused about.
