CodeLite IDE

I have tried adding my custom settings for the code formatter in the custom user settings edit, box but they disappear! It is thus not possible to edit them! (If I recall, this did not happen with earlier versions and editing of the visible Astyle options was possible.) Although the setting seem to be applied as a reformatting of the code produces the desired layout. This is surely an undesirable feature.

(By trial-and-error, I presume the format is the Astyle option minus the hyphens,as in "style=whitesmith" although it would be nice to have this documented somewhere...)

Second issue, periodically my user settings 'disappear' and formatting goes back to the default. Not quite able to identify what triggers this - certainly a shutdown did it because the settings vanished overnight. But I also had this happen 'spontaneously'. Whereabouts should user options be stored?

Version 6.1 from repo on Mint Qiana (~Ubuntu Trusty)

Confirmed. The settings are saved, but they are not loaded into the dialog... can you please open a bug please?

The settings are stored in the file %appdata%\codelite\config\codelite.xml

Look for the XML element: FormatterOptions
