I don't know if this is intentional or just not yet implemented, but xfce4-sensors (not the panel plugin) doesn't save its settings, neither which sensors are selected for being displayed on the tachoeter tab, nor which font is chosen for the tachometer nor anything else. So the settings have to always be changed again at every xfce4-sensors start. It would be nice if it would save the latest configuration and load it when it is started.
Forget to mention the version info. It happens with the 1.0.0 release and with the latest git snapshot.
It was never intended, but rather thought as a demonstration that the shared library can also work apart from the xfce4 panel, such as in KDE and gnome one day, or enlightenment, windowmaker etc. There was a user request once to be able to modify the panel plugin's values, and I thought of employing D-Bus for that purpose. However, due to the multiple chances for race conditions and coherence issues, I stopped working on this one. Maybe it really is a good idea to only save the stand-alone app's settings only. Will investigate in that some day :)

Will investigate in that some day :) But the settings of the panel plugin should also still be saved. ;-) But both should, of course, be saved separately, sometime. To be honest, for me xfce4-sensors is not really important. The panel plugin is a lot more important.

As it turns out that having xfce4-sensors as a standa-lone app for debugging purposes with fresh configurations independent from any old config files, I won't implement settings-saving features in the standa-lone app for the next time.
