    Default newly added buttons don't appear when re opening programme

    I've just discovered the content -aware scale tool in WDP365 - man, it's awesome
    I've added it to my tool bar by using alt and dragging from the button palette, but the next time I open the software, the button's no longer there. This happens with the pen tool too ( which for the life of me, cannot understand why it's not in the drawing tools flyout by default).
    Any help appreciated

    No idea. Maybe the buttons are shy?

    Are you adding the buttons to a custom button bar or just to the Infobar? If not a custom button bar, try that.

    You should be able to use XaReg to get the pen tool to stick. I've not tried it, I don't like the pen tool.

    Here's a very long thread re the unloved pen tool on the Tool bar.

    Are you meaning the content -aware photo resize tool LGF? It should be in the photo fly-out menu.

    You can't permanently change the fly out tools. Try to drag it directly to the toolbar (below the Photo tools fly out for example) instead.
