Winbox RC1 is available. There are lots of changes since beta 3*
http://download2.mikrotik.com/routeros/winbox/3.0rc1/winbox.exe

Overall highlights of Winbox 3:

  • Remembers all layout details between sessions

  • Inline comments global setting

  • Winbox loader can self upgrade

  • Choose any of the saved sessions when connecting to a router

  • Group, filter and sort saved routers

  • Set up master password to encrypt router database

  • Move database to dropbox or copy to a different PC

  • Import or export database to Winbox 2 format

  • Ability to keep Loader open when connecting

  • If connection is lost, it will offer to reconnect later

  • Log can be sorted, and now has columns

    • (10 versions were not made public)

Why auto upgrade from beta3 don´t work?

Awesome!

Thanks Mikrotik

the cloudfront caches things, so it could take a moment until it realizes there is a new version

***Inline comments global setting
what this exactly? i press button in firewall filter tab applies there but not in mangle tab automatically.

***Move database to dropbox or copy to a different PC
how can be done? manually?

do you have comments there? it should move comments in all rule windows to separate column, so that comments can be sorted and look different. works in all rule windows for me.

yes, find the .CBX file and put it in the Dropbox. then open from there. other computers that have same Dropbox account can open them too. Then all have same database

7

when “Open in New Window” is checked nothing happens after Connect button is activated (except some winbox window flickering).

works for me! at least on Windows 8.1 x64

login in to my router and try to open for first time
eg system resources
or queues

crashing-close. second time opens ok.

Did you get a autosupout.rif file generated on the router after Winbox crash? If yes, then please send it to support@mikrotik.com

11

Which RouterOS version and Windows version do you have?

12

work. windows 7 sp1 x86, ros 6.25
will try later at home with w8.1 x64
where is the default location of .CBX file?

13

Is it possible to do something about minimum child windows sizes, specifically height? I often need to arrange more of them to see a lot of info at the same time and current minimum height really does not help with that. Take wireless interfaces list for example, it has space for 15 items, nobody will need that, ever.

14

now you can adjust the size, save the session, and you will never need to adjust again

15

depends on the OS, but you can click File → Save and you will see the default location

16

IP menu - Web Proxy - Access - …Crashed! :confused:
Windows 7 x64

Maybe I did not describe it right, so try #2:

I have WinBox 3.0rc1 and I connect to router (tested with ROS 6.19 and 6.25 in case it matters). On the left bar I click Wireless and it opens Wireless Tables window. Default height of this window is 370px and as I only have two wireless interfaces, more than half of the height is just wasted space for me, so I’d like to make it smaller. If I drag this window’s top or bottom border, I can increase the height. But I can not decrease it below 370px.

Edit: If it’s not clear, this happens with pretty much every list window (only the minimums are slightly different). Only window that does it right is Log.

It seems the layout is only ever TRULY saved when exiting Winbox with the Exit button.

Even if I click “Save”, if I then exit by closing the window, the layout is not saved.

Not saving the layout on closing the window is fine… in fact, it’s a nice feature, rather than a bug. HOWEVER, I would expect an explicit click on “Save” to save the session at that point, regardless of how I exit Winbox afterwards.

19

we were able to reproduce it - we will try to fix it.

RB1100AHx2 + ROS 6.18 + IP connection + Win7 x 64 Prof

Opening Terminal freezes Winbox, no data in terminal but window opens and then Winbox disconnects

EDIT:

Connection with MAC works
