Can't save modified style about flamerobin HOT 7 CLOSED

Hello, @Jdochoa I simply copied everything to user folder in the first time the user saves the preferences. From this point Fr will use the user folder to look for styles
I did this for simplicity reasons and to not change too much code

from flamerobin.

Hi @kalwados maybe change the installer to move styles to C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Local\flamerobin, and let Flamerobin decide if there is a local folder, use it, if not use from user folder (because you can use Flamerobin portable)
I image thar the same behavior occurs at Linux (if someone could try)
@Jdochoa can you take a look?

The setup need to save to %user%\AppData\Local\flamerobin\xml-styles
The app need to look for first at %user%\AppData\Local\flamerobin\xml-styles then secondly if not found at .\xml-styles (current)

No. The setup runs with administrator rights, which can be a complete different user than the user which will run the application (or several users on same machine; think of terminal server) . The only reliable way is to let Flamerobin itself copy the xml files into the current user folder. Or at least use the user's folder when saving a style modified from the default.

hum, let me try something

Please try this version

OK, no error messages while saving modified styles. Thank you.
But the whole style-edit-dialog does not work as I expect. I would like to use the "DarkModeDefault"; with Font "Consolas" and 12 pt. font size. Since the "set editor font" option does nothing since the past released, I used the "Global override" entry to set my font configuration, but at least the font size is not persistent als falls back to 10 pt. Also the selected font name "Consolas" is not copy into the other style items.

IMHO the initial .xml files should be stored in the installation folder and the modifications in the user folder.
