Bug ID: 364030
Summary: String delimiters option not obeyed
Product: KBibTeX
Version: 0.6
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: Loading/saving files
Assignee: fisc...@unix-ag.uni-kl.de
Reporter: f...@aber.ac.uk
It used to be the case that I could set string delimiters to be quotes rather
than curly braces. In fact, there is an option for that on the file settings
panel (why this is not accessible from the settings menu is a mystery to me).
However, even if I set that to be "...", the delimiters of my file are changed
to {...}.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a file where string delimiters are quotes.
2. Check the option is set to be quotes.
3. Save the file.
Actual Results:
The delimiters are now brackets.
Expected Results:
The delimiters should be quotes.
In general, an application that opens a text file and saves it differently
without the user having done anything to the file is a bad idea. I consider
this as similar to losing data. Indeed, this implies that change tracking
(such as svn) will create a complete new file, when in fact the data is the
same.
This used to work.
Linked to that, other options on the panel are not remembered. For example, I
have un-ticked the protect casing option (I do that myself if needed) and it
comes back the next time I open kbibtex.
