Save Settings changes from saved to unsaved without reason

Post by selukwe »

Why is it that when I click on the Home button on the toolbar, the program's settings change from saved to unsaved - button Save Settings changes from saved state (green icon) to unsaved state (brown icon)? There is no obvious reason for this. After all, by just loading Home folder in any pane I do not really change any settings, I just change a folder... Is this a bug or it should work like this and if yes then why this behavior? My tab is set as default - does this make any difference?

When you change the folder that a given tab points to, that does change your settings because in order to resume XY at the new folder, it has to be stored somewhere, so that's why...ok?

I'm not sure this explains it. If I change the folder directly (opening it, clicking on it in the pane or loading it from the folder tree) then no setting is changed as also the green color of Save Settings button on the Toolbar shows. Is there a real difference between doing it this way and using button Go Home? But I'm not changing the saved location of the Go Home button, I'm just loading the saved location... - ? Technically, I am not changing any setting.

Ok -- I then don't have the answer -- we'll maybe likely have to wait for Don to explain it.

Yes, you are right. I'll fix this in the next version.
