Logged Actions VS Save Settings On Exit Setting Off

Post by yogi »

Remember the logged actions between sessions

If checked then the file action.dat is written on exit and read on startup. Note that it is even written when "Save settings on exit" is off because it must stay in sync with reality as much as possible.
Doesn't Work. :cry:

Same problem. :!:

Action logs doesn't save or clear when "Save Settings On Exit" is unmarked.

Tested on latest version and clean install (Portable).

Any Solution? :?:

Code: Select all

v19.00.0114 - 2018-06-22 12:48
    * File | Exit without Saving: Ever since we have an Action Log the log file is 
      invariably saved on exit, even on "Exit without Saving". Reason: The Action 
      Log should be in sync with the actions performed on the file system.
      But now I think "without Saving" is "without Saving". So nothing is saved 
      anymore on "Exit without Saving".
Looks like I did not update the Help file accordingly. :whistle:

I added an option to enable that old behavior:

Code: Select all

v19.50.0119 - 2019-01-10 16:30
    + Configuration | File Operations | Undo & Action Log: Added option "Even on 
      exit without saving". Tick it to remember the logged actions even on "Exit 
      without Saving". After all, if the file system has been changed then "Exit 
      without Saving" won't change it back.
      Note that ON was hard-coded behavior before v19.00.0114 - 2018-06-22 
      12:48 when it was changed to a hard OFF. Now it's optional. Factory 
      default is ON.
