Does the GUI automatically loads settings? #1201

Closed yoshi-plur closed 10 months ago

Problem

In the document below, it states that

The GUI automatically loads settings from /Documents/OpenBCI_GUI/Settings/ when the system starts!

https://docs.openbci.com/Software/OpenBCISoftware/GUIDocs/#decrease-setup-time-by-savingloading-settings

I changed filter and widgets settings, and saved them as the default file names "GanglionUserSettings.json" and "FilterSettings_4Channels.json". After closing and reopening the GUI and starting session, the saved files are not loaded automatically.

Are those files not loaded automatically? Do I have to load them manually every time I start session?

Even if I saved the settings to the "GanglionDefaultSettings.json", it is overwritten when the GUI starts. So, it seems impossible to have custom settings loaded automatically at the start.

Well, I know I can use the shortcut to load "GanglionUserSettings.json" but not "FilterSettings_4Channels.json". In EEG analysis, it is important to see 1.0 - 5.0Hz range but the range is cut because of default start setting of 5.0Hz. So, I would like the GUI to load saved setting files automatically.

Expected

The GUI automatically loads all saved settings files from /Documents/OpenBCI_GUI/Settings/ when it starts session.
