    Saving Window Preferences

    I noticed what was mentioned in the news section about windows perhaps not carrying over preferences. I am noticing that it is not saving preferences even after loading, fixing and then saving. When I restart they are back to the same. Any troubleshooting advice?

    Re: Saving Window Preferences

    When the program first runs, are you seeing a warning in the console about it not being able to load the window prefs, or are there no warnings and it just doesn't restore them?

    Good question no errors:

    Code:
    Using config file '/root/.showeq/showeq.xml'
    Loaded preferences file: /usr/local/share/showeq/seqdef.xml!
    Loaded preferences file: /root/.showeq/showeq.xml!
    Yes, I run as root... I know that's not best practice

    Re: Saving Window Preferences

    Can you send me a copy of your showeq.xml? Any maybe screenshots of how it's supposed to look vs how it actually looks? cn187 at users.sourceforge.net

    Or post them here, if you want (assuming there's no identifying info)

    Edit to add:

    Looks like those warning show up later than the log snippet you posted -

    Code:
    Info: Categories Reloaded
    Info: No Map found for zone 'unknown'!
    Info:     Checked for all variants of 'unknown.map', 'unknown.txt', and 'unknown_1.txt'
    Info:     in directories '/root/.showeq/maps'
    Warning: Could not restore dock/window geometry.  Rearrange windows as desired and then re-save preferences
    Warning: Could not restore dock/window state.  Rearrange windows as desired and then re-save prefrences

    Will send showeq.xml via email as it is too big to attach in forums apparently.
