Exception when selecting the "Use recommended settings": NoOptionError

[Pete Stephenson]

Binary package hint: sbackup

In sbackup 0.10.5ubuntu2 (though the version in the About button in the application shows as 0.10.4) in Ubuntu 10.04, after making the configuration change detailed at http://wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9477790&postcount=8, selecting the "Use recommended settings" option has no effect.

After saving, closing, and re-opening Simple Backup Config, the "Use custom settings" option is selected. This is not the desired behavior.

The terminal output when selecting the "Use recommended settings" option is chosen is as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Thank you for choosing SBackup and for taking the time reporting this bug.

This issue does not exist in sbackup >= 0.11 as packaged in Maverick and newer. However, it may occur when using sbackup 0.10.5.
