Webuilder2015 Export Settings loses last changes

[mwalker212]

I noticed this in WB2014 as well. If I make some changes in Preferences, click OK and then immediately Export Settings, when I re-open WB the last preference changes are not as I had set them. However, the changes are saved in the export, so if I subsequently Import Settings then the changes are back.
If, however, I make the changes, close WB then re-open WB and then Export Settings then all settings are retained upon the next restart.
So it appears that it's only when WB closes itself to export the settings that any recent changes are not saved in the working config.

I guess this happens because WeBuilder saves the settings on exit but most likely Export Settings feature exports the saved settings. I'll add this to issues.

Update: did you close the WeBuilder when Export Settings asked you to?

Hm, I can't reproduce this. I tried changing Indent and Tab size, and immediately exporting settings. The exported settings contained the correct values. Which setting did you change?

You seem to have got the details around the wrong way, the settings *are* being exported but are not being remembered by WB when you reopen WB after it closed itself to export the settings.

I.e.
Open WB, tick (or untick) Remove Trailing spaces and tabs, click OK. Go to Export Settings and export, allowing WB to close. Re-open WB after the export and check the above setting, it has returned to the value it was before the last change.
The correct setting is stored in the export, but not remembered by WB.

I see, thanks for the clarification.
