Bug in VNCViewer: Saving settings

Open esrat opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Hi, I just want to mention that the vncviewer.exe (on the most current version 1.3.4.2) seems to use two different formats for saving the settings!

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start a freshly unpacked vncviewer.exe and configure it. In my example a used the listening mode and therefore did not need any server address.
  2. Before hitting [Start Listening] I used [Save as] to save my settings.
  3. I just closed the listening viewer to get the automatically saved options.vnc.

The two saved .vnc-files do differ in quite some points! Some entries are simply sorted in a different way, some are only available within my manually saved settings, others only within the automatically saved file. In some cases it is obvious that the option was renamed, e.g. useAllMonitors --> use_allmonitors or the other way around. I would suspect that the format was changed over time but other parts of the code did not get updated.
