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?

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.

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!
