Description johannesmyth 2011-10-07 01:03:09 UTC

Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

Every time I close and reopen Knotes, it erases the configuration file in ~/.kde/share/config/knotesrc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change general settings for background color, width, height, etc.
2. Close Knotes
3. Relaunch it and see your settings gone

Actual Results:  
It wipes my custom settings

Expected Results:  
It should keep my settings

I have already recreated all my settings on ~/.kde due to 4.7 and it didn't help

Oh, sorry, Knotes version is 4.7.1, not 4.7.

Comment 2 Ron Willhoite 2011-10-23 17:51:43 UTC

I'm having this problem also.

Configure knotes, /share/config/knotesrc exists.

Quit knotes, the knotesrc file is still there.

Start knotes, the knotesrc file is gone.

Starting knotes in a terminal shows one of the following lines for each note:

knotes(2325) KNotesLegacy::convertKNotes1Config: The file " "/home/ronw/.kde/share/apps/knotes/notes/libkcal-914103111.560" " lacks version information but is not a valid KNotes 1 config file either!

but no messages about the knotesrc file.

Version is 4.7.2.

same problem here, my versionis 4.7.4, made to starts when ubuntu starts but can't get it to remember configuration, a little help here?

Comment 4 Travis Evans 2012-03-28 00:40:25 UTC

Confirmed on KDE 4.8.0, Arch Linux 64-bit. Symptoms are as described above; any changes in the configuration dialog get lost on every start.

the version value in knotesrc is no longer a floating point number.
so cheat.

this fixes the test that looks to remove ancient knotesrc files.
