Preferences are not saved and are reset to default values after restart

[Thomas Leberbauer]

1. Open nuvola-player
2. Go to Service -> Preferences
3. Change for example the "autostart playback on start" setting to checked
4. Close Preferences
5. Close nuvola-player
6. Repeat (1) and (2)
==> Setting is back to unchecked

Writing a ~/.config/nuvolaplayer/main.conf file lets me set preferences on my system. The file is not overwritten with changed preferences when nuvola-player is closed.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. You have to manually
close Preferences dialog to save preferences and then quit Nuvola
Player.

What do you mean by "manually close Preferences dialog"?
I did not mention to close the Preferences window before closing nuvola-player, in case you mean that.
It does also happen when I click "close" in the dialog, though.

Sorry, my fault. I forgot to ask what distribution do you use and this
is a key information for reproduction of this bug. I assumed you use
Ubuntu and I was not able to reproduce it, because stable
Debian/Ubuntu builds or development builds save configuration when
close button of the Preferences dialog is clicked, but this code is
removed if you build Nuvola Player without debug symbols.

As a temporary workaround, you can build Nuvola Player with a flag
--debug-symbols.

Fix committed to lp:nuvola-player as r574, lp:nuvola-player/2.0.x as r573, and lp:nuvola-player/1.1.x as r537.

I use ArchLinux.

--debug-symbols does the trick. Thanks for the hint and the fix.

[Jiří Janoušek (fenryxo)]

Fix released in Nuvola Player 1.1.1 and 2.0.1.
