No option to configure server "options" section - manual edits are erased from synergy.conf #10

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. No "Options" available in the GUI
2. Manually edit the "section: options" in synergy.conf
3. Clicking "execute" on the GUI removes the "section: options" in synergy.conf

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Manual edits to the synergy.conf should not be erased. The ideal would be
to be able to configure all the options from the GUI

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
quicksynergy 0.9.0
synergys 1.3.1, protocol version 1.3
Linux nms-dev 2.6.31-18-generic-pae #55-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 8 16:13:23 UTC
2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Please provide any additional information below.

It's probably obvious, but the same problem exists with the "screens" section.

Same problem here. Plus quicksynergy crashes after clicking "Execute" if 
synergy.conf is set to read only.

Not sure if anyone is interested, but the ugly way of doing this (still using 
QuickSynergy to generate the initial config file)

[start QuickSynergy, click "Execute"]

$ ps aux | grep synergy
jjg       9395  0.0  0.1 170844 13184 ?        S    10:07   0:00 quicksynergy
jjg       9545  0.7  0.0  66184  3160 ?        Sl   10:11   0:00 
/usr/bin/synergys -f --config .quicksynergy/synergy.conf

$ synergys --help
...
If no configuration file pathname is provided then the first of the
following to load successfully sets the configuration:
  /path/to/home/jjg/.synergy.conf
  /etc/synergy.conf

[manually edit ~/.quicksynergy/synergy.conf]

$ cp ~/.quicksynergy/synergy.conf ~/.synergy.conf

[stop QuickSynergy]

$ synergys --daemon

Clearly not the intended use of QuickSynergy, but it does avoid the need to put 
together a config file from scratch...
