Been using VLC portable 2.0.1 in Vista x64 for a good while. The interface / toolbar had maybe 4 - 5 advanced icons, all on same line as default toolbar. Worked fine for weeks. Today, opened VLC & noticed the advanced option icon were on a line above default toolbar (now 2 rows vs 1 in past).
Went to Customize Interface & tried to drag the advanced icons down to same line as default ones. (I believe this is how I got all of them on one line, in the past).
Closed customize interface - no change to toolbar, after restarting VLC. It still plays movies, but now if I access "Customize Interface", VLC crashes immediately - with or w/o a video. All other menus are OK.
1) Is there a way to reset / delete lines, values or some action to toolbar profiles for the interface prefs in vlc-qt-interface.ini (hopefully, so I can access it again) w/o wiping out ALL custom settings in all other menus?
2) AFAICT, in Preferences - "Reset Preferences" will reset ALL prefs (not just for the one area you're viewing at the moment, like "Interface." True or not?
3) Below are my toolbar profiles from vlc-qt-interface.ini. I see the "most recent" is VLC 1.1, probably because I didn't change any toolbar settings after upgrading to 2.0:
