Layout tab : custom command not saved

[LionelHoudelier]

In Layout tab:

• add a new layout from existing window with different terminals
• or edit one
• add a custom command for a terminal
• click save
• then the command disappears
  any idea why?

I did look at this a while back, and it has to do with the layout save procedure. There is a github issue about it, but I'm mostly concentrating on trying to update to GTK4 right now.

yes. because we cannot change the saved layout, so the save action cancels the changed options (profile, custom command, working folder). sad. It is a wonderful app in development! Thank you so much.
I am looking at the code to see where to change the action.
HALF-SOLVED:
Do not press "save".

The issue is actually that the button should not say Save but something like Refresh or Reset :

• the behaviour of this dialog is that changes get saved when the user hits enter, by invoking self.config.save()
• while the button click in question resets any changes

Therefore a Save button is not needed and misleading. The existing code and glade file uses the term layoutrefresh to refer to the button behaviour, so this looks like a simple oversight in the button property in preferences.glade.

I'll do a pull request with the change from gtk-save to gtk-refresh to bring the glade file in line with the code.
