Description Arnout Boelens 2008-06-02 01:52:53 UTC 
Version:           1.2.50 (using 4.00.80 (KDE 4.0.80 >= (KDE 4.1 Beta1), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-1-686

In the configuration screen of aKregator the "Apply" button is disabled. Also, when changing a configuration option and afterward clicking on "OK", the configuration is not actually changed. The same exact configuration is shown when opening the configuration screen again.

Tested on r815560. I cannot reproduce this bug.
Comment 2 Frank Osterfeld 2008-06-08 18:37:42 UTC 
I can only for the "Default Archive Settings" groupbox on the archive page.
Comment 3 Arnout Boelens 2008-06-26 16:46:19 UTC 
I updated to kdepim 4.0.82+svn819867 and the problem is still there.
Comment 4 Arnout Boelens 2008-08-01 20:36:12 UTC 
In KDE 4.1 all configuration changes I make are saved, except those related to archiving read articles.
Comment 5 Serge New 2008-09-09 19:54:24 UTC 
I can confirm this bug on my system as well (OpenSUSE 11.0), using Akregator 1.3.1 (KDE 4.1.1 release 31.3).

Here is my investigation:

(1) When you enter the Default Archive Settings panel in the config dialog, none of the 4 archive settings is selected

(2) When you select Delete Articles Older than...(30 days), click OK and come back in the config dialog, same situation as (1)

(3) I checked the akregatorrc file and it looked like this:

[Archive]
Max Article Age=30

(4) I deleted akregatorrc and started over again: No improvement

(5) Had a quick check in the kcfg file and saw that the akregatorrc file should look like this (am i wrong ?)

[Archive]
ArchiveMode=limitArticleAge
Max Article Age=30

(6) Added the missing ArchiveMode line, restarted Akregator. At least now I see that old articles are getting kicked out the archive.

(7) Still then, if I change the Archive Settings through the config dialog, the ArchiveMode in akregatorrc is NOT updated and NOTHING is selected when I re-enter the config dialog.

(8) The only thing which is correctly updated from the config dialog is the Max Article Age value.

---

PS: Except for the Archive Settings, all the other settings ARE correctly updated in akregatorrc.

Hope this helps.
