Settings.toml auto-revert #250

Closed neeasade closed 2 years ago

neeasade commented 2 years ago

Hi,

My Settings.toml doesn't appear to retain any changes (version: 0.9.30). I have tried connecting from plato ("shared mode") and also quitting plato and connecting with the vanilla setup.

To edit Settings.toml, I'm mounting the kobo at ~/mount and then editing ~/mount/.adds/plato/Settings.toml -- but when I umount and go back to the reader, none of the edits stick around/apply. If I re-mount I see an old version of Settings.toml come up.

note: first time plato user

It can happen if /mnt/onboard is lazily unmounted. Plato's script, scripts/usb-enable.sh, first tries to unmount cleanly and then fallbacks to the lazy method. The vanilla script always lazily unmounts. You could prevent this by having Plato partially installed in /usr/local (cf. standalone.sh).

You might also want to check for any error messages related to Settings.toml in info.log (saved alongside Plato's binary): if there's a typo in Settings.toml, the default settings are used (and written to Settings.toml when Plato quits).

ah yepp! thanks

I made a bad assumption:

Can't load settings: can't parse TOML content from Settings.toml: unknown variant none, expected toggle-bars or next-page for key reader.south-strip at line 130 column 1.
