Winbox 3 RC

[karina]

Is there any way to add winbox3 to the Dude tools.

Tried this and it fails to login in with username error

“c:\Program Files (x86)\winbox3.exe”
[Device.FirstAddress] [Device.UserName] [Device.Password]

I am using exactly the same for Dude and it works.
I have added it when on beta3 and just saved the rc1 .exe over it.
I was not using it then, because of the many bugs on beta3, but now it is fully usable.
The only problem is that sometimes by habit I click on the old winbox because it can’t be disabled in Dude since it is builtin.

Potential bug :

Inline comments is selected. It is used everywhere I checked, but when I go to Wireless → Access list it is not working.
I have to deselect and select inline comments again for it to work. It works until I close the winbox. If I reopen it I have to perform the same steps.

Yes i want also the same. When i press inline button i want all tabs to have inline and not just current one. And i want to be saved also when i login again

Just Upgraded to Winbox 3.0rc2..
Seems to have all the lockups I was experiencing fixed as far as I can tell..

The “Torch” environment is NOT being saved from one session to another. Can this be fixed ?
Is it possible to be able to select more than one column item at a time? That would speed things up a lot.

Winbox 3.0rc2 ??? where is that?

Simple… From within Winbox, select “Tools”, then “Check For Updates”…

Easy..Peazy..Lemon Squeezy..

Hello Normis,

I did not click the save again, the window session just does not save, the router starts with blank screen and also when u are connected if u click files / or interfaces, it exits.

Otherwise its a great improvement, I would love to use it but the this unexpected exit is a killer, hoping a fix soon.

A new DUDE version instead of a new Winbox would be better at all …

Winbox v3.0rc2 connected to RB133 running RouterOS 5.26 has the following bug on viewing any wireless interface:

The problem doesn’t occur with RouterOS 6.25.

Other bug I found is with routing filters. Winbox 2 shows them rightly, but v3.0rc2 is buggy:

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)

First, happy to see improvements. Some of the new features don’t explain themselves well, so documentation will be important.

I was excited to see the “log can be sorted” feature, yet I don’t see the columns and sorting options. What am I missing?

Also, I noticed in two separate sessions that the log window shows entries out of order.

guys, make sure your Winbox tool has permissions to write to file. Maybe you have stored the files in some non-writable folder, or you are running a non-admin account ?

I have it on Desktop and also tried to put in C:\Program Files(x86)\Winbox. I have full rights to this folders and I am the administrator and also tried to “Run as administrator”. It shows the same error (“ERROR: Could not save configuration” on start, “ERROR: could not create file” when I try to connect). Every other application runs fine on my computer.
In which folders does it try to save it’s config? Where should I check?

[freemannnn]

take a look at C:\Users\xxxxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Mikrotik\Winbox
delete everything there, it will create again files

they are saved. do NOT click the save button unless you want to make a new session. current session is saved automatically.
I guess we need to make this more clear in some way.

unfortunately, we encountered some issues, so this feature got removed during the beta stage. I will talk to the developers how soon can we have it back

The reports are for the inline settings button. When you clicked the button in a previous session and reopen, the button is pressed, but some windows don’t use the inline comments. You have to depress/press it again (inline settings). And it works correctly only until you close the session.
I can always replicate the issue with wireless access list. Close winbox with inline comments selected using Exit button. Reopen the same session, go to wireless->access list. 100% every time inline comments are not used in that window.

Sorry but I was unable to repeat this. Are you using RC2?
