gpick gPick doesn't save preferences

Original issue 115 created by thezbyg on 2014-01-14T12:33:55.000Z:

All that you need to know is in the title. When I quit gPick and restart it, my preferences have vanished. I have seen there is no one used variable about preferences in ~/.conf/gpick/settings.xml ... Wtf ? Thank you in advance. ZanyMonk

I can verify this problem. I tried to take a deeper look with "strace". But now it works. I started the program around half a dozen times before, without beeing able to save the preferences.

i'm having this problem aswell under Xubuntu 14.04.1, is anyone know a workaround to fix this?

Can you check the following files: ~/.config/gpick/user_init.lua - should be created immediately after starting Gpick. ~/.config/gpick/settings.xml - should be created after Gpick is closed.

I was having the same issue on a lubuntu 14.04 box. I'm not sure, but it seems like gpick doesn't automatically save the preferences when the system powers off. I edited my preferences and exited gpick manually, then restarted the system and now it did save the preferences.
