Windows version poorer than Mac

Alin Flaidar
Looking at the video tutorial - demo'ed on the Mac version naturally ;o/ - I notice the absence of the customize toolbar option in the view menu on my Win version (incidentally I tripped over this during my futile attempts to customize tabs and bring all tools in view including the picker in the curve tab - by the way, did anyone find a workaround for this).
So it seems that in good tradition Win users get the short end of the stick; how short ? - would be interesting to see a compiled list of the differences somewhere.

    AFAIK, the customise toolbar facility is part of the Mac OS, not C1.
    Going through the User Guide some weeks ago - which is based on the Mac version - I could see very few other differences.

    And some of them are in favor of the Windows version, but Windows users will never notice that, won't they? 😄
    To be honest, feature set is 99,9% the same between both platforms. Not much to complain about, if any reason at all.
    (Yes, I have run both, Mac & Win, on my Mac & Win computers for comparison of features and performance since the first beta of CO4).

    I wasn't complaining!

    sorry for that, imacken, but I was not referring to your post but to the initial poster with his 'that in good tradition Win users get the short end of the stick'. I was just teasing a bit, no hard feelings I hope 😄
    In fact, the Windows version has more nice but small extras over the Mac's version, but who cares?

    If the customizable toolbar is due to the Mac OS, then PO shouldn't be touting it as a C4 feature. At the very least they should specify toolbars can only be custumized only on Macs instead of misleading people to think all users can take advantage of the feature.

    I must be missing something obvious here: for years I've seen Windows applications featuring customizable menus, customizable toolbars, customizable keystrokes in some cases (SilkyPix DS, for example). Why would this necessarily be a Mac-only "thing"?

    I don't find the non-customizable toolbar any particular problem, though it was a bit irritating to have spent a while looking for the feature, the whole time thinking that I must just have gone mental or something because I couldn't find it.

    An easily-visible single sentence in the PDF file; a single audible sentence spoken aloud in the tutorial video -- that's all it would have taken to settle this. Why not document it? That's the part I find kind of baffling. Kafka-esque. Why not simply say that the feature isn't in the Win version, and have done with it?
