@spwolf Are you planning to implements Ribbon in FTP/Backup/Burner tools too?

We cant do it in main PA GUI, since we cant hide individual ribbon ui components, this is technology limitation of Microsoft Ribbon UI SDK that we use for ribbon.

So people who bought Standard and Professional licenses, and also our Enterprise users that hide those from their own users (most of our Enterprise users limit this functionality as security measure), would have Backup, Burner and FTP always there which would be very annoying for them.

edit: if you thought it pabackup.exe, paburner.exe, etc, yeah, it is possible to do it there in the future. We have to have both options since Ribbon UI is only available from Windows Vista & 7, so our Windows XP users still need to have classic interface option.

When pressing one of these buttons, the app restarts with the correct tool section. Or not. Is this the normal behavior?

Yes, we cant have both toolbars together so it has to restart in ftp/backup mode and classic toolbar instead of ribbon.

We cant hide things in ribbon, so we can’t hide ftp/backup for users that don’t have Toolbox, and also for Enterprise users that want to disable functionality.

No, it’s not normal.
I can confirm with both the Archive and FTP tabs
