Installation:

1. install the persistent base if not already installed
2. drag the node into the link editor
3. delete the node from the scene after install is complete

Usage:

• press the TB button to open the toolbar manager
• View the help menu
• note: "open toolbar" was renamed to toggle toolbar
• note: "select and save toolbar" was renamed to ADD TOOLBAR TO MENU
• new menu item: save toolbars state - save toolbars that have been added to the toggle toolbars menu
• new menu item: restore toolbars state - restore toolbars and toggle toolbars menu items
• new menu item: DELETE TOOLBAR - permanent deletion of toolbar

general usage is to create custom toolbars, name them and add them to the toolbar menu and save toolbars state so they can be used on context reset and layout changes. save to library is for more permanent toolbar storage for backup and sharing toolbars

Notes:

• add toolbar to menu - adds to permanent store
• save toolbars state - saves current active toolbars
• refresh toolbar menu - opens all custom toolbars from the permanent store
• restore state - only restores last state of toolbars, does not close any open, just adds to them
• show hidden - reads from tempStore then deletes it
• display all - reads from store

                    Suggestion:
                    Toolbars are always in 1D
                    Save state does not seem to honor 2D
                    
                    Could be your use of:
                    Node.Value(butt,"Package") = "{E0C3ABBA-AA1C-4A09-8089-9ED4A8AC63B9}";//needed for menu button
                    
                    That said though, if a user copies buttons from existing toolbars, then changing their attributes will break their functionality, for instance your newest Snapping and NURBS toolbars. This is very concerning!
                    What is your thoughts?
