There are I think more general problems with the group-preferences.xml
file. From time to time it forgets (at least) the
default-group-save-path and the group-color settings or they get changed
back to the default setting. Those are the most noticable settings and
it is likely that the others are actually affected too.
I haven't checked if that happens for all groups at once (I only have
one coloured group usually).
In my current group-preferences.xml file I notice that many groups have
no settings at all, and several groups I actually sometimes look at do
have a bunch. For example:
<group name="alt.binaries.wallpaper">
<flag name='header-pane-sort-ascending' value='false'/>
<int name='header-pane-sort-column' value='6'/>
<string name='character-encoding' value='UTF-8'/>
<string name='default-group-save-path'
value='/home/rhialto/save/wallpapers'/>
<string name='posting-profile' value='Eternal September'/>
<color name='group-color' value='rgb(0,0,0)'/>
</group>
When the default-group-save-path setting gets forgotten it turns back to
default but is then written like that in the file. Clearly in this case,
the value isn't forgotten yet. But the group-color looks like it was
forgotten and returned to default. Next time I should ckeck if the
posting-profile also reverts to default and/or disappears.
