Idle preference not saved

[anonymous]

Each time I relaunch the application, I have to redo my idle preferences. Namely, I choose not to let others know I am idle after X minutes, however everytime I restart the box is checked. Is there a way to have this preference saved?

Please don't set milestones when filing tickets

[adamiser]

This preference is indeed not working correctly.

[evands]

Can anybody reproduce this? I can't.

(The ticket was ostensibly opened because someone thought Adam had been able to reproduce it. However, he hadn't.)

This happens to me on tiger 10.4.2 and adium .84

[tick]

Setting to 1.0 for now, but we need to try to reproduce this or close it for good.

[tick]

Can anyone get this to happen in .86 or svn head?

[evands]

I really can't reproduce this. The status preferences are localized, so it could be a localization-specific issue. If you, theoretical bug reporting reader, reopen this because you have the problem in this ticket, please include the language in which Adium runs on your system.

I am having this problem in 0.88 on the english version of 10.4.4. I set the idle time to 5 mins, then if I restart Adium it resets to 1 min.

This really does work for me every time in 1.0 beta. If you are still seeing this issue, please describe precisely how you are changing the value and then what else you do before you quit adium.

This happens to me also. I am Mac 10.4.9 Adium 1.0.4. When I open Adium, open prefs, go to the status tab, and set Let others know that I am idle after 5 min to 10. Then I close Adium and reopen the change is not saved. I went into the plist and changed it there and it has held. I have changed to 5 and back to 10 with no problems now.

(In [22539]) Don't use an NSNumber key in a dictionary which will be saved as a preference, as this prevents the entire preference group from saving; you must use an NSString. We now have logging which points the problem out.

Fixes #9082 (Custom status pre-population with previous message. Fixes #225 (yes, a ticket from 3 years ago!) which was previously very, very mysterious - the preference in question is in the same group as the last-status preference, which is why it wouldn't save.
