Description Auguste Pop 2011-05-17 18:02:33 CEST
i set it to ignore statically mounted partitions and ~/.gvfs, which i expanded ~ manually.

randomly, after reboot, it forgets its settings and uses its default ones.

i notices many .tmp files in .config/xfce4/panel directory, if that's means something to you.

Some questions.. :
- do you still experience the bug, and if so which version ?
- can you rebuild it from source and pass --enable-debug to ./configure ? The verbose output is in your session manager output (depends on your distro setup..)
- how do those .tmp files look like, and what is their full name ? (ie look like mount plugin config files or not ?)

i stopped using it a couple of weeks ago, i will re-enable the plugin and give it another try and report back here as soon as i spot the same problem.
Comment 3 Landry Breuil editbugs 2012-04-11 08:11:38 CEST
The plugin config read/write is a bit.. special, it writes only options different from defaults while usually we write all options regardless of its value. I'll rework it for next version and we'll see if that improves things.

Auguste, can you please try again after so many updates and new releases?

i have been kept trying. the version now i'm using is 0.6.4. this plugin seems to get updates quite often recently, so i am not sure if i have give it enough time to fairly report back here that this bug is fixed or not.

anyway, the problem is not occurring for a few weeks now. normally, i boot and shutdown my system twice or three times a day. if by the frequency of usage, we can deduce the bug is fixed, i'd be happy to see this bug fixed.

i am sorry to keep this thing for so long. despite the fact that i want to report back here with some certainty, i should have said something during so long a time span.

Hopefully the next release is only due to many translation updates ;)

So are we.

Nevermind. Glad it works for you now.
