Preferences file not saved correctly on OSX #1485

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install 'htop' via macports before installing texmaker
2. Try to change preferences within texmaker
3. Close and reopen texmaker. None of your settings are saved

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Settings file should be saved.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10 (also occurred in 10.9)
Texmaker 4.4.1

Please provide any additional information below.
The reason for this is that htop via macports created the ~/.config directory, 
but it was owned by root. Thus, texmaker did not have permission to write its 
settings file there. I fixed this by running 'sudo chown <username> ~/.config'. 
Texmaker did not provide any error message about this, so took a while to track 
down why it was not saving the preferences file.
