I have some custom indicators saved with the same name.
Example: There are 3 different custom formulas under the same
name "angle".
It was not a problem for previous versions.
How these 3 indicators will be [automatically] saved in the new
Formulas\Old\Custom ?
Should I rename these indicators before 4.64 installation ?

There are many custom indicators without any Param line.
It seems the "Parameters" button is transparent and, consequently, I
will not be able to use the Grid lines settings [Limits, Show dates
etc.]
I read in some previous messages that I have to add some Param() line
in these custom formulas. It would not be easy for 500 [or 1000]
custom indicators, since the Param() functions are relatively new in
amibroker evolution.
Is it possible to have the Parameters button visible even if there is
no Param() line in the custom formulas ?
