Configuration problem under linux with mono

[mattifolder]

Hello harlam,
thanks for your great work, it's still better than native information in Folding@home client !
I want to use your tool under linux mint mate 17.3 Rosa and it is running with mono. One problem left:
the program only saves client settings in HFM.hfmx, the configured preferences as Web Settings and so on are not saved.
I found that settings in HFM.exe.config and edited them manually, no success.
My search in program issues here and over the internet also doesn't give usefully result.
Do you have a tip ?

Thanks and best regards, Matthias

Hi Matthias - I have not tested on Linux and Mono in quite a while.  I do know this all used to work under older versions of openSUSE and Mono 2.10.  I know, that's quite out-of-date.  I don't currently have a Linux/Mono test environment setup so I'd have to do that.  Also note that just because it may work, or not work, on one Linux distro + Mono doesn't mean it will or won't on another.  I will note that changing the settings in the HFM.exe.config file will only alter the default settings when the user settings are created.  In general, users should avoid editing any files delivered with the distribution.

Hi Harlam,

thanks for fast answer. I searched my local linux user environment and found that file (the "..." are synonyms):
"/home/.../.local/share/harlam357/HFM.exe_StrongName_.../user.config"
There are the user settings stored, but unfortunately in my case only the FormSizes, -Locations etc. The preferences settings are not stored. I edited the wanted settings from HFM.exe.config in that user.config before starting HFM.exe an they are loaded correctly.:) But at exiting the application they are overwritten ;( So I made a little script that creates the actually used user.config from a template with my wanted settings before running the application. It's only a workaround, but usable for me. Your naming of the properties is plausible, so I'm able to customize my template by editor instead of graphical preferences interface.

I know, that the mono runtime environments highly differ between linux distributions, their versions and every user installation and it's not easy to consider all cases in development. If you are interested by any help from (debug logs etc), let my know.

Best regards, Matthias
