I have a strange thing happening. I have a WIP blind in my collection, unfinished for now. But when I apply a different skin, the WIP skin no longer shows in WB Config (beta 7). It is still in the directory. Now if I open WB config in the old UI, it shows there. If I reinstall the WIP skin, it shows in the beta UI untill I install or apply a different skin.

It sounds like it is being filtered. Try setting the star rating filter to 0 stars.

I'll think I'll wait, I can't find it on Impulse and I certainly can't find this "install all updates button"? I really don't like Impulse at all, it's clunky, resource heavy "bloatware" and frankly, apart from "ObjectDock Plus" I'm a little over the whole thing.
