Bricscad's GUI position/settings Dementia on Mac

Michael Mayer

Which are exactly all (including hidden) Files, Workspaces,
CUI files, Settings, etc. on Mac do I have to delete to cure the dementia ?

I often deleted the whole "config" but that alone does not help

It may not happen after every restart and not for all affected palettes at the same time,
but sooner or later all customizations are gone.

- Command line open, collapses again
- I resort the vertical Tab order of the right main Palette (Properties, Layers, ...), they go default again
- I open some Bricscad Palettes and dock them to the top (View Panel, 2D and 3D Snapps), they get lost/closed again

(My "Settings" customizations stay usually stable at least)

This basically happened on all Mac Versions but currently I am on V 22.2.04

Dear Michael,
have you tried with WSAUTOSAVE=0/1
(1 means automatic GUI save, 0 means 'don't save automatically')
many greetings !

"Workspace Autosave" was activated already.
(Pity, would have been an easy one click solution)

As it happens not after every single restart but at least over time,
I though there may be some corrupted settings files (?)

I looked a bit into my user libraries *.cui files in Editor.
They look plausible for my eyes (?)
(Not millions of "blanks" as I have previously seen in some config files
and file sizes look similar too and the related cui files have current
last edit dates)

And I see some older (migrated ?) custom cui files from previous dates
and Bricscad versions.
