    I don't know. I can test it in Windows 7 only.  See if program had made any entries to log.txt file in the installation folder.

    It's add-on for Sonar with countless of features including floating toolbar and insane interface tweaking capabilities, automatic picture cache cleaner, Duckbar Protection to make Sonar restore points and much more. It even has a programming language called 'Kvak' [quack] which is my attempt to make an ultimate replacement for CAL language to control Sonar & Duckbar.
    It has Track President which include batch freeze and batch unfreeze commands to freeze/unfreeze multiple tracks at once. In Track President you can also create list of track names to clipboard.
     
    Of course there is full featured and easy to use Sonar Utilities Menu editor.
    "Insane tweaking" means for example possibility to tweak Skylight interface graphics and any color imaginable.  There's much more and now you can make your own features by programming loosely C based Kvak language. :-)

    Run Duckbar from command line in debug mode:
     
    1. Open command line (start menu / type "cmd")
    2. Go to Duckbar installation folder (cd \program files\sonar mods\duckbar)
    3. "Duckbar -debug" launches program in debug mode and it may write additional data to log file.
     
    Report me if you get any new log entries, it will help me find cause of the issue.

    Panu Thanks!!!!
     
     I really love the look your Mods give Sonar.  it is so much cooler working with the customized look.  I really like "dark Side", but it bothered me that it still said "X2" even tho I'm on X3.   But you fixed that.  Very cool.
     
    Thanks again...love it!

    Panu, you're the best.  I've used this utility since the beginning, and it makes the experience of using Sonar so much more pleasant.  I hope a lot of new people discover how valuable you are.

    All the best,

    Windows 7:
    Go to the run box and type in "cmd"
    Now instead of hitting the Enter key, use Ctrl+Shift + Enter.

    Duckbar is crashing.  First time ever.  Have used it for years, but this version gives white screen and I have to go to Task Manager to end process.
     
    I run the 64bit Duckbar for Sonar x3d 64bit.  I will send Panu info on this.

    Yes, it's a bit flakey on my system as well. Make sure to run as administrator and it may come up but will have huge lag.
