If I run the wxPython 2.9 demo and open the WIT and then run wxPython 2.8.12.0 demo and open the WIT I get this exception.

Work around is to delete the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\wxpyinspector\perspective entry in the registry.

Then I can use the WIT in wxPython 2.8 again and going up to 2.9 is no problem.

If I run the wxPython 2.9 demo and open the WIT and then run wxPython
2.8.12.0 demo and open the WIT I get this exception.

ui\framemanager.cpp(1442) in wxAuiManager::LoadPaneInfo(): Bad

I thought I was the only one switching between 2.8 and 2.9 enough that this error became annoying. :wink:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\wxpyinspector\perspective entry in the registry.

problem.

You can also just ignore it and close the WIT Frame (by the user closing the window, not because of the parent window being closed) which will force a save of the config object, overwriting the bad perspective string. I've added a try/except to ignore errors on loading the perspective for future releases.

I thought I tried this, will keep that in mind for the next time.

Thanks
