#1243 Options->Customize entry types not saving changes

[Dariusz Więckiewicz]

Hello,
I am using Mac OSX version of JabRef.
I would like to modify some settings at Options->Customize entry types
Every time when I do this and set what I want to have, when I close and open App again, all changes are lost.

Is there any possibility to save this changes?

I have found this problem only on Mac OS X. I think there are some permission issues to store this settings as on Windows there is no problem with this.

I have the same problem with version 2.10 on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Custom changes are not really "lost", be the order is changed, which is really annoying and strange. I couldn't find any JabRef settings file where the order of the entry fields is stored. If anybody knows of such a config file, please let me know. Maybe one could modify that file's permissions to "read only" so that JabRef cannot make any changes to these settings.

On Mac I have found solution running JabRef from terminal with sudo command on front.

In Windows, sometimes help running as an Administrator (right click)

I'm using windows8 and installed jabref.exe.
I've run jabref.exe as an administrator, but the order of entry fields ("Required fields") is not kept as I saved.

The problem with the changed order of the customized fields is a duplicate of #1221 and concerns all platforms. It is fixed in the 2.11 development branch (pull request pending)
