MultiDataViewer color theme change not saving

(1/3) > >>

Ulfhednar:
Nothing I do will make MDV hold a new setting/config.  MC 7.5 b2381, W7x64

E.G.: If I set it to dark theme it's OK for the open file only & it holds only whilst MDV is open for that instance.

If I make/set a new profile for MDV to use a specific theme, when I reopen MDV it has gone back to default. 
If I apply new settings with multiple files open I pageup/down & the other files open as default not as the theme I just applied to the open file. The theme change works on the open file only :( 
Restarting MC makes no difference.

I had this feature working globally before so am confused.  :-\
Should I try manually editing the .xml?

....Also I noticed that throughout MDV there is a typo - Stripes is entered as 'strips' - not quite the same thing ;)

Options > Configure Profiles
And for the [Default]  profile select what "Color Theme" you want to use

If you created more profiles they need to have a file matching filter.. and that profile will only be used if that filter is matched

Ulfhednar:
Thanks Mathias

I had been trying to define a new profile as new default, not changing the default.  :-[
I had used the 'new' & set up what I wanted under a new profile name, applied & saved but the config always went back to 'default' at it's initial default settings.

Should we not be able to set & call a new custom profile as a new 'default'? 

Mathias (Author):
The default profile is the one that is loaded if no other of the profiles are matching..
that why you can't set a file matching filter for the default profile.

So if you want to change the default one.. the you need to save over the default.

Ulfhednar:
OK thanks Mathias.

Need to add that the changed default had reverted to the original one after I rebooted the PC.  Can't see why as the AV etc is supposed to leave MC alone, & the change had been global before the cold boot.  ::)
