GM won't save my changes

[Jim Byrnes]

System = Ubuntu 10.04, Firefox 10.0, Greasemonkey 0.9.15

I haven't written any scripts for quite sometime and I see that
Greasemonkey has changed a lot. I've read through the manual and still
can't figure out what is happening.

What I want to do requires jQuery. At first, after GM installed the
script, I simply put a local copy of jQuery in that folder. Doing some
research I found that most authors @required a copy from the web. So I
changed my script in its working directory and used Tools-->Addons to
delete the original script and then reinstalled it.

A look in the folder GM created showed that the jQurey file reappeared
and renaming it proved that the script depended on it despite the
@require pointing to the web. I tried manually deleting that folder
before uninstalling the script but it was recreated with the jQuery file
intact. Also when reinstalling the script I noticed that (1), (2), (3)
etc appeared on the install button.

I noticed other changes not being reflected in the config.xml file
either, but if someone could please point me to the correct place in the
docs or tell me what I am doing wrong, those problems would probably go
away too.

Thanks, Jim

.15 is buggy.  Try out a nightly (link in the issue) and see if the recent fixes work for you. If so, .16 should be out before long.  I wouldn't suggest using nightlies for regular day-to-day use, they can break at any time.

Thanks for the info. I think I will wait for .16, I have some scripts I
run on a daily basis that are working fine and don't want to mess
anything up. Actually I can continue working on the new script and
continue using a local copy of jQuery for the time being.

Thanks, Jim

GM has been updated to .16 and the problems I wrote of below still
persist. I see that the config.xml file has been reworked with many
additional items but the Require filename still points to the local copy
of jQuery not the one on Google per the @require line in the script.

I am curious how GM manages to recreate this file after it has removed
the script?
