I felt that way too but, as Miller pointed out, what happens when you use different hot pluggable sound devices? You wouldn't necessarily *want* to save a temporary device each time, that plus the GUI freezes for a bit when you save the preferences. I did enable auto saving for this dialog but it was *pretty* annoying to wait every time you close it. There are definitely some things to fix regarding consistency, but there are still a few reasons why they don't quite match completely. > On Dec 27, 2017, at 6:36 PM, Antoine Rousseau <anto...@metalu.net> wrote: > > IMO the startup flags like this should *not* be saved > > of course I agree with https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/153 > <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/153> > However I was referring to another "issue", which is about auto-saving > behaviour of (only) some dialogs. > > Antoine Rousseau > http://www.metalu.net <http://metalu.net/> __ > http://www.metaluachahuter.com/ > <http://www.metaluachahuter.com/compagnies/al1-ant1/> > > > 2017-12-27 18:00 GMT+01:00 Dan Wilcox <danomat...@gmail.com > <mailto:danomat...@gmail.com>>: > IMO the startup flags like this should *not* be saved or be added to the > existing settings when saving.
