Hi all,

I've just been trying out Bob, and I wanted to try to run a shell command from my wiki.

I've added the test command to "scripts" like so:

But when I click "Update Settings" I get a message saying "Saved wiki settings", but my new script gets deleted.

Now in general I have no idea what I'm doing, I just followed the step by step instructions on the GitHub page to set up Bob, but it does otherwise seem to be running as I expect.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

I suppose there aren't that many people who use Bob, so I thought I'd just bump this up in the hope that it gets seen by someone who does. I can provide more details if needed.

at the moment it is because there is a bug in the latest release that breaks saving changes to the settings, so the scripts aren't saved when added in the browser.
as you said, there aren't many people using it so it will get fixed whenever I get time to fix it.

Ahh OK thanks for the explanation. I'll give it another go at some point in the future!
