I rearranged one of the panels recently (v3.6) and ever since I’m unable to export the settings:
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unsual Way...
Changes I’ve made are in fact saved as upon close and reopen everything is configured as it were.
Is there another way to save the configuration than clicking on export?
Yes, you can try to save it using The Dude web interface.
Copy the folder to another location.
The only successful method of backing up and restoring with 4.0B that I have had is to back up the data folder in the installation directory. Also i back up the .conf file located in the root of c:/, not sure if this file is needed but i back it up anyway. Import and export has been problematic. My data folder is 1G and my export file is over 400M.
Transferring my backed up data folder over the internet took forever…
we will add a database clean up button in one of the next versions, but for now, you can use this command:
sqlite3 dude.db VACUUM;
this will clean up the database, usually saving lots of space. currently the size grows, even if you remove all objects.
