SuperDOM Buy Column Color reset by new V5 releases

[jwalker]

When I installed NT 5 I set the superDOM Properties to:

Buy column color: PowderBlue

Sell column color: LightPink

Font: Arial 9.75pt, style=Bold

Twice after upgrading to new NTreleases the Sell column color has been reset to Gainsboro. The Buy column color and Font were not reset.

When you upgrade are you:

1) Running the installer

2) Removing the current installation first then installing.

Last time I clicked link in email, then clicked download link in V5.0.10000.4

Don't believe that I uninstalled current installation first. Should I have?

No need to uninstall a previous NT5 release.

Just installed V5.0.10000.5 and did not lose any properties this time.

When I installed the new release to my backup computer the problem
reappeared.

Comparing the Program Files/NinjaTrader 5/workspaces/Default.xml
before and after files I found:

1) Both have identical <SuperDom> tags at the bottom of the file.

2) The new file has a tag <SuperDom-d3d82f961a154df9b49680046f56eb42>
following the <Forms> tag. In addition to new tags,four changes
were in this new tag compared to the SuperDom tag.

Change 1:
<Instrument>ES 12-05 Globex</Instrument>


Changed to:
<Instrument>
</Instrument>

Change 2:
<SellColumnBackColor>n:LightCoral</SellColumnBackColor>


Changed to:
<SellColumnBackColor>n:Gainsboro</SellColumnBackColor>

Change 3:
<StopMarketDefault>False</StopMarketDefault>


Changed to:
<StopMarketDefault>True</StopMarketDefault>


Change 4:
<Strategy><Custom></Strategy>

Changed to:
<Strategy><None></Strategy>


I have saved all the before and after files, if you want additional
information.

I'm a bit lost an that issue:
On installing an update file <install>/NinjaTrader 5/workspaces/Default.xml should remain untouched. Anything else is a bug. Did you experience that this file was changed on an update? If so: Which version was installed before R5.

Thanks

My previous NinjaTrader.exe file had a version 5.0.1.8 and a date of
10/27/2005 5:02:36 PM.

Comparing the <install>/NinjaTrader 5/workspaces/Default.xml updated and previous version with WinMerge, the V5.0.10000.5 update made dozens of changes to <ColumnDefinition> tags. Some had the <Position> value changed and all had a new tag <SortStatus>None</SortStatus> added. In addition, a new tag <SuperDom-d3d82f961a154df9b49680046f56eb42> was added inside the <Forms> tag. This new tag overrides the unchanged<SuperDom> tag at the end of the attached new Default.xml file.

Since I run Norton Goback, I can give you the pre-update versions of any NT file.

The files are different since you started NT5R5 and implicitely or explicitely saved the DOM settings. The update itself does not touch the file in question.

a) If you have evidance that above statement is incoerrect, please let me know how to reproduce.
b) I suggest trying the issue form now on forward since previous installed release was a bit outdated (NT5B8).

Thanks
