Save settings on exit

Post by OldSchool2 »

X2 6.2.0.3 ULT x64 9/1/2025

Save settings on exit = windows registry

Every now and then I notice that when I open X2 I'm not at the same folders I was on when I closed the app. I check "save settings on exit" config item and it is set to "no".

Any ideas how this is getting disabled?

1. Configure your settings as desired.
2. Click “Actions | Save settings now”.
3. Set "save settings on exit" to No.

I have to admit that I have also observed this mysterious turning off of automatic saving of changes. It is rare but I have seen it. No idea why it happens :(
please keep an eye open for any pattern that causes it and let me know!

I forgot to add this.
I found that it is preferable to exit xplorer² immediately after the above 3 steps.
You should get the same folders on display when you restart X2.
It seems that an immediate exit is necessary to actually set the "save settings on exit" property.
My own 2 cts…

OK thanks. At least I know I'm not going crazy. ;) If I can detect a pattern I'll let you know.
