httpswitchboard does not remember any settings

Hi

This extension is beyond great but I am having an issue here. httpswitchboard does not remember settings if the browser crashes. Is there a way to make sure that the settings (site related js settings )are saved properly?

Did you save your rules with the padlock?

httpswitchboard does not remember settings if the browser crashes

If you can confirm that you indeed persisted your rules using the padlock, then really if it still doesn't recover your settings after a crash, I suppose this has to do with how the browser works internally (probably buffering written data rather than outright writing it to physical storage), and that would be beyond my control.

What browser are you using? I don't remember if I ever had a crash here, except for the occasional tab or extension, but no full-blown browser crash.

hi

thanks for your reply, I will investigate it further. I am on Linux chromium

For me (also chromium on linux: Version 40.0.2214.94 (64-bit)) it appears that httpswitchboard does not save settings until chromium is fully shut down -- i.e. I check at the command line if there are still chromium processes running. When the last chromium process has terminated and I restart it, httpswitchboard starts with all the settings.

Before that, I had shut down the computer immediately after closing chromium (or even leaving it running) and my settings were completely null and void (good thing I had at least a rule backup).
