paraview 6.0.1 not saving modified settings

hello,

I am using ParaView-6.0.1-MPI-Linux-Python3.12-x86_64 in my ubuntu machine, but the settings that i modify are not being restored after i close paraview and open it again. such as camera behavior

Please make sure ParaView closes properly and does not crash on close, which would skip writing settings.

okey it looked like this was most probably the issue, I quite often quite paraview by ctr+C on the terminal instead of simply closing it.

Which is a neat trick to know when you DONT want to save settings :slight_smile:

yeah, but would say that it is a strange behavior, one would expect to be saved when the apply is hit, I understand what you mean and didnt thought about this, but funny enough, I am not the first person who had exactly the same issue, another person had the same problem in the OpenFOAM discord, I informed him/her of this behavior (y)

This is a Qt behavior.

For non-Qt settings, ParaView indeed does not write them until the application terminates in normal ways (not being killed). We could change that behavior.

I dont know what would be better, but i can confirm you that at least we were two having same issue (and thinking it was a bug when it is not…) so it might be something to consider as this will come up again for other users in the future?maybe?
