Options are not saved

[Jay Adams]

Changes to PS options are not retained after application restart.

Version: 7.0.14 64-bit
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

Like what in particular?

[Jay Adams]

For example, if I go to File->Options->Text Editor->General and set the following:
[ ] Enable Drag and Drop
[x] Always open XML files as text
[x] Always open HTML as text
[x] Highlight current line
Default font: Consolas (Size: 11)
ASP.NET: C# (C Sharp)

Click OK then close. Upon re-opening, none of those settings were retained.

Works perfectly fine here.
You running some registry protection software?
or Antivirus?

[Jay Adams]

My config is fairly standard. I don't have any registry protection or anything out of the ordinary other than antivirus and other network monitoring/protection.

I performed some of the operations while running Process Monitor and PrimalScript appears to have the access it needs. If I search for a string inside a file and then close PS, I can see that PS successfully wrote my search value to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAPIEN Technologies, Inc.\PrimalScript 2014\Settings\SearchString

I am an admin on the box with UAC enabled. I've tried with and without "Run as administrator" with the same results.

Fairly simple test.
Go here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAPIEN Technologies, Inc.\PrimalScript 2014\Options

Look at a value, like

Open PrimalScript, go to options - text editor - general

Press OK and exit PrimalScript.

I only have one registry key under Options: LastUpdate

I completely uninstalled 7.0.14 (64-bit), removed all related registry hives and folders that were left and then did a clean install of 7.0.18 (64-bit).

Still, no changes to File->Options->Text Editor-General get saved. I still only have the one registry entry in the Options hive under HKCU.

Is this happening to anyone else? Just trying to see if there's some commonality.

[bitblaster]

Yep. None of my options are getting saved. On Win7 PS crashes on exit (see other post), on Win8.1 app exits but nothing is saved.

Tested on 7.0.18.

Right click on the shortcut and select "run as admin".
That'll tell us if it is a permission problem.

[Jay Adams]

I've already tried that...

I am an admin on the box with UAC enabled. I've tried with and without "Run as administrator" with the same results.
