xournal does not save eraser options

[Felix Dietze]

Binary package hint: xournal

In Ubuntu Jaunty Alpha:

When you open Xournal and select
- Tools - Eraser Options - Delete Strokes
- Tools - Set As Default
- Options - Save Preferences
exit Xournal and reopen it, the settings are expected to be saved, like in the Pen Options. But they are set to the default values everytime.

Sorry about this annoying misfeature. "Tools - Set as default" only acts on the currently selected tool, so you'd actually need to select the eraser (e.g. by clicking on the eraser toolbar button) before doing "Set as default", otherwise it only saves the pen settings. Yes, this is dumb. I'll have to rethink this whole "set as default" thing for a future release.

In the meantime, it may be faster to manually edit ~/.xournal/config if you find the "set as default" thing too confusing, which I would easily understand.

Ok, this works. Thank you.

This doesn't seem to be a bug, so I'm marking it as invalid.
If somebody reading this has an idea to improve the "set as default" feature, it would be great to add it here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=163434&atid=827736

pura vida.
