[Bug-gnubg] Auto Save Settings - your opinion?

[Michael Petch]

Hi All,

After spending some time on many platforms this week I will admit I am 
not a fan of the auto save settings. There are still some bugs 
(Switching between 3d and 2d, the view/panels view/tool bar settings) 
don't auto save. Some settings save twice (not a big deal in most 
cases), but one big one is that if I resize windows and move thing 
around I have to go out of my way to find an option that does save so 
that I can get window/panel size/pos changes to. Sometimes I even forget 
and find the layout changed the next time I return.

I understand why Save Settings  was removed - I have seen some of the 
complaints. The advantage the old way was that I had control over when 
things saved and there was no guessing. I could go an entire session 
with changes made and then undo it all just by exiting.

I was thinking of fixing the things that were not auto saving but got to 
feeling - I'd personally fix it by reverting it all back ;-) .

I'm just not sure that the way we have implemented is better than what 
it was before. I am curious about other people's opinion on this. I 
figure I am in the minority on my feelings about this.
