Re: [Rails-devel] Release Rails 1.7.0 available

[Phil D. <de...@gm...>]

Stefan,

Initial thoughts are that the configuration isn't working correctly.  When
I start up rails, I can load any of the default configs using the dropdown
box.  If I open the config window to edit the configuration, clicking
save/apply prompts me for a name.

Firstly, that seems to make it impossible to overwrite the default
configurations (I'd like prettyUI to have borders disabled, personally)
since if I type the same name it it simply prompts me again.  Secondly, no
matter what name I DO type in, it doesn't seem to save.  Do I understand
the below correctly that the configuration data should be saving into
%USERPROFILE%\application data\rails on windows?  I have a rails.recent
file in there but nothing else seems to change if I try and save new
configurations.
