Re: Hosed buddy list

[Jason T. <tow...@ma...>]

I think we need to make our load/save code for the buddy list  
"lossless". Essentially this means we need to store the entire  
dictionary with each BuddyItem that was in the config file, and then  
write the entire dictionary back out.

This could also apply to accounts.

I would suggest to anyone that is using TOT that you keep a backup copy  
of your ~/Library/Application Support/Fire/FireConfiguration.plist file  
just in case.
