Why doesn't it save its settings? #107

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Everytime I want to use this extension I realize that it hasn't saved the host 
IP or the port. So I have to do it all again but by that stage it would be 
easier to copy the Magnet Link and past it directly into Vuze Remote because by 
then even if I reset the parameters correctly again, it still won't work unless 
the browser is closed and restarted again which means that the settings must 
have been stored locally instead of part of the roaming profile along with the 
extension itself and therefore not downloaded when syncing on login to Chrome's 
dashboard.

This extension would be useful if you could login and get your server's 
settings through your account anywhere which means it needs an ability to grab 
the setting from the Chrome's dashboard profile. Otherwise all the parameters 
have to be reset again and the browser relaunched which defeats the whole 
purpose. 

Having written code myself I imagine that all the above should be very simple 
to fix. A simple save button would at least give an idea of the setting not 
having to be reset again.

So what it taking so long?

the extension's settings are stored each time you change them: a keystroke in 
an input box stores the new value, changing the state of a checkbox stores 
that, etc. this makes a save button superfluous.

i'm a bit confused as to what your use case looks like. it's true that there's 
no synchronization of the extension's settings to your google profile.
that is mostly due to the fact that i've not gotten around to it yet, and that 
i'm not yet sure about whether it even makes sense: in some networks, i may 
want/need to address my local seedbox differently, having the same settings 
would be a regression. on the flip side, just setting it up twice isn't that 
horrible of an inconvenience.

that being said, you talk about restarting your browser and chrome not storing 
the settings locally(?), can you give a 1., 2., 3., etc. step description of 
what you do and what's expected to happen, but happens instead?
