Preferenes dialog issue

Hi Ky6uk,

Thank you for reporting bugs. Now let me understand a little bit more of what this is about.

What do you mean with "Saving only active tab". For what I understand, is that if you make changes in "General" tab and then click on "Save", the preferences dialog closes. Is that what's happening?

Now, the preferences "Save" buttons saves only the preferences that have been modified and that are different from default values. On the other hand, if we Modify preferences on the "General tab", and then switch to the "Virtualization tab" and we also make modifications, when "Save" is clicked, the preferences from both tabs are gonna be saved. This is the desired behavior.

If I change settings on first tab and then press "save" button - saving only settings on this first tab.
If I change settings on first tab, then change on secondary tab and save it - saved only settings on current active tab and reset all previously settings.

Sorry for my english. :)

Try this:

Go to preferences "General" tab:

 - Repository should be: cdimage
 - Release: Lucid

Now, go to "Virtualization" tab:

 - Change Memory to: 512 MB

Then click "Save", and $HOME/.testdriverc should look like:

 [testdrive-gtk]
mem = 512
p = cdimage
r = lucid
f = ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu

Now, this means that changes on "General" tab are kept if we "Save" from "Virtualization" tab, which is correct.

Now, I've just noticed if we rerun testdrive with changes related to "General", and we go to "Virtualization" tab, and we make changes, those previously made changes on "General" tab are overwritten.

If this is what you mean, yes there's a bug :).

Yes, I mean it. :)

Ok then.

Thank you for finding it. I'll fix it in the next release :)
