Solus OS - Bookmark editor doesn't save

[Skukkuk]

Hi,

I'm trying radiotray-ng on Solus and tried to add new radio stations. The first stations/groups I added where only visible after system restart. Then I added several stations and saved a *.json file to keep them, but the system/player doesn't load the stations. On every restart I do have the old incomplete list. Even when I load the before saved list, I do not get the option to save it to the system. Reloading the stations doesn't help either.

Any idea how to solve the issue?

Thx!

Did you change your "bookmarks" entry in "~/.config/radiotray-ng/radiotray-ng.json" to point to your new file? If not then first exit radiotray-ng and update the entry.

@ebruck Thx for pointing me into this direction. Never was able to find the config file. Now I updated it and restarted radiotray-ng, but it is still the old bookmark list.

Here is my entry:

{
    # "bookmarks" : "/home/MYNAME/.config/radiotray-ng/bookmarks.json",
    "bookmarks" : "/home/MYNAME/Dokumente/Radiostreams/radiotray_ng_2020.json",
    "notification-verbose" : true,
    "notifications" : true,
    "split-title" : true,
    "volume-level" : 100
}

Unfortunately the former entry is restored every time I start or end radiotray-ng.

You can't comment out entries in a JSON file. You have to either rename the key or delete it. What is happening is that radiotray-ng is unable to parse the file which causes it to create a new one.

Ok, understood. Now it works. Many thanks for supporting me @ebruck

Question: why so complicated? Wouldn't it be more conveniant to have a failsave.json if something went wrong and save your radio stations directly into bookmarks.json? Just my view on it.
