Settings don't get saved (svn 4454)
johne53:
A few days ago I installed svn 4454 (via the rpm package for OpenSuse). Since then, I'm finding that changes to my IDE aren't being reliably saved. For example, if the selected build target is Debug and I change it to Release, next time I start C::B it will still be Debug. Similarly if I use Settings->Compiler and Debugger and I add a new search directory, the new setting has disappeared next time I re-start C::B. Can anyone else confirm this before I report it as a bug?
Also, is there a way to manually save these kinds of changes?

This is not the bug, but only a symptom of the bug. If settings are not saved, this means that a crash occurs after you tell the application to quit, but before ConfigManager is deleted (settings are saved in its destructor). To narrow down the source of the crash, please try disabling all contrib plugins first, and if that does not help, disable the "core" plugins one by one (start with CodeCompletion). Also, if you have a RPT file, it may be helpful to see that one.

None at the present time (and not likely in the future, although it would probably be easy to implement).

Yes - that's pretty much what I suspected. I haven't installed any plugins personally but I'll happily try disabling the standard ones if you can tell me where to do it. Also, what is an RPT file and where would I find it??

This one is confirmed. This happens as the default target loaded from layout file is not used to update the Target Combo and the Menu items.

In fact I've just realised that if I change an IDE setting, I don't see the dialog box any more telling me that my layout has changed and asking if I want to save the new layout. So it's not even getting to that stage.
Is there a way of going back to my old version temporarily? I don't like having bugs that cause things not to get saved.
