Confirm on Exit

Howdy

I seem to be getting the "Confirm on Exit" popup whether I have it enabled in the settings or not.

What did I do?

Note: Recently moved everthing from XP to Win 7

Did you start from fresh or move your database over? If the latter, you need to check that your old configs are using the correct paths, because they can be different on Windows 7 64 bit ie your settings may not be reading from where you think they are.

Well, I moved my Newsman files to "C:\Users\Ed\AppData\Local\Newsman Pro". Is that what you mean? They seem to have taken effect for other settings.

I think this was happening on my old machine for awhile too, but I'm not sure.

Note that when I change the setting it has no effect.

Well, I've just tested this and it seems to work just fine, so it's not likely a bug. On Vista/Win7, the NMP.INI file should be located in:

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Newsman Pro

However, if there is a copy in the same folder as the executable, then NMP will attempt to use that one instead. Not every setting is stored in this file; some are stored in the database, so you need to make sure NMP is actually updating the correct file. Other settings that are stored here are things like the window size and position. If you resize/move NMP and these changes aren't reflected when you restart the program, then the NMP.INI file NMP is trying to use is not writeable, but Win7 may be virtualizing the file so NMP doesn't know that it isn't getting updated. Check the timestamp on the file and make sure there are no other copies elsewhere.

It may be better to uninstall NMP, wipe any related folders and reinstall from the latest final version. Then you can simply point NMP to your existing database. I don't think you are using ADS as your database, so you won't lose any significant settings or data.

You can't...I've changed it for the next beta.
