Config silently fails to load on start

[churchmf]

Hello,

I'm attempting to setup on_motion_preview_save as explained in the configuration example however any changes I make to ~/.pikrellcam/pikrellcam.conf do not appear to be picked up upon restarting.

I've tried adding an invalid line and it doesn't complain. I believe it may simply use the default config without any notification.

Thanks for this awesome project and all the hard work!

Here's the output of running it with -v `root@3bc92cf78f95:~# /home/pi/pikrellcam/pikrellcam -v & [1] 317 root@3bc92cf78f95:~# ======= PiKrellCam 4.1.6 started at 2018-05-14 04:35:21 == Dropped root priviledges-continuing as normal user ==

Here's the config file in question: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H3xSb-3GoZHoZkmWOPhcUREGwdNjYvqF/view?usp=sharing

Hello, I'm having the same problem, I think. Currently running ver 4.3.2. I created the pikrellcam.config file and loaded some "on_motion_begin" scripts but nothing.
