Hello.  
In my external window (I use a M1 with two touchscreens, Vista3 R4 build 1679 (249f9b03e9)), I have lined up a few Playbacks with different cuelists. Problem is that these cuelists are not stored when I reboot the software. When reopening, all playbacks end up with the same cuelist. Any suggestions on how to save this properly?

Are you talking about external windows or playbacks assigned to playbacks?  
Can you submit a support ticket with more info + a copy of your showfile. Happy to take a look at it.

Hello.  
Have attached my external window with all the playbacks.

PS. When is release 5 due?

The playback screen is a single element. This is not a good way of doing what you are trying to do. I would recommend using a virtual console instead to show your different cuelists.

Yes. I totally understand. For info, I have made an Action Grid, similar to the upcoming function in Release 5. By the way, do you happen to know when this is due?
