To the developers,
This is a very common mistake, caused because most Windows programs retain the
settings when OK is pressed. I don't know the default behaviour on Linux or
Macs, but I think gnubg would be more user friendly if it saved settings by
default.
Maybe there ought to be some discussion about which settings are saved and
which are not. E.g. Player names?
Cheers,
-- Ian

Hi Ian,
I thought pressing OK would do the job, thus forgot about "Save
settings";
however, everything is just fine now.
Thanking you very much for your prompt help,
Gerhard

Hi Gerhard,
The commonest cause of this problem is that you have forgotten
to save the settings after making changes.
Use the Settings... Save Settings option after you make changes.
If this is not the cause, then you may have a genuine problem
with your installation.
In Windows, the settings are stored in Documents and
Settings\USERNAME\.gnubg\gnubgautorc.
You could look at these with a text editor to see what should
be stored.
Failing that, I'm sure one of the developers will respond with
more ideas.
Regards,
Ian Shaw

Subject: [Bug-gnubg] Loosing individual settings!
Dear friends,
my installation (Version GNU Backgammon 0.90-mingw
20101215) does not maintain (i.e. looses) some personalyzed individual settings
when/after closed down and restarted...
Is this a known bug or rather some mistake on my part?
Appriciating your advise,
Gerhard Weinwurm
Vienna, Austria
PS: I like GNU Backgammon very much, it´s really great!
