#1 Newest beta of Giftbox fails to retain preferences
I decided to use Giftbox. I dropped it into the Applications folder and launched it. Nothing. So I checked out the preferences. I set some values hit apply, then ok. I went back and changed a preference and all the values were there. When I quit the application and launched it again all the values were gone
- I've tried with the daemon always on and off. It doesn't matter
- I've tried just hitting ok in the preference dialog and hitting apply then ok. It doesn't make a difference
I'm a bit confused. Maybe I'm missing something, but this looks like a bug to me.
G4 Mirror Drive
- dual 867mhz
- 256megs of ram
- plenty of HD left over
- just did a permissions check so that's not it
- 10.2.4 installed with everything on the system up to date

The preferences pane indeed does not work in this version. The giFT daemon will provide an option setting command, if it does the prefs will work as well.. For now you can manually edit the options in ~/.giFT/gift.conf and ~/.giFT/OpenFT/OpenFT.conf . GiftBoX should be able to run without changing the preferences though. Could you describe in more detail what's happening ?

Okay this is QUITE major, I leave GiftBox online most of the time, but I don't
want to KEEP saying '~/movies/' is my download area and 'etc...' is my
upload...
this needs to be fixed, you have done a great job, but we all need a real fix!

Lets see when you go in preferences and put in the info when
you restart the app it doesn't stay.
I manually did it tho, it was annoying tho.
