New order template function and cargo view

[Kaiser (OP)]

Hi
Before 6.40 I could see what my cargo ships were carrying in that moment opening the task group window, now there's a new order template function whcih doesn't allow me to see the cargo, unless I enter in the individual unit details.
Can someone explain me how this order template works and if there's a better way to watch my actual cargo?

Is this with reduced height windows on? If so I had the same problem in 6.30. I think the reduced height windows version of the Task Force window wasn't proofed for formatting overlap when the order template box was added. I reported it as a bug in 6.30 but I've been too busy with RL this past week to even crack open 6.41 and see if it got fixed.

uh, yes. I have just tried to disable reduced heights window option and now I can see 3 different panels (order templates, default,conditional orders and cargo panel), but only the label is visible for the last one.

Just to clarify, is the cargo panel now hidden because your screen is too short to fit the full sized window, or can you see the whole window and the cargo panel is still obscured? If the latter is the case, that sounds like a bug. On my computer it's the former, so I can't check it myself.

So, with the option "reduced height windows" disabled, I cannot see the cargo panel as well as all the bottons on down (New Task gropu, rename TS, delete TS etc.) With this option enabled (I have always played with it) I can see only 1 order template panel.
I added two screen.. 106 is without the option, 107 with.

It's working fine for me, maybe try re downloading patch 6.41 the new 6.42 patch?

Also have you tried dragging the edge of the box to see if it will expand? It shouldn't but your 106 screenshot looks pretty weird.

I haven't been checking on the Reduced window height option during recent patches so it's entirely possible I haven't moved something. Unfortunately in VB6 you have to manually specify the location of every control if you resize a window. In C# for example, you can set things up so that controls automatically resize along with the window (much easier!).

Can't of course, windows are stuck!

Steve, Steve...bad bad bad!  well, this is not a serious problem, due to We can see cargo in other ways and it's still possible use the new order option, but... 6.42 anyone???
