Locked Preferences are not saving under PR3 mode
开云体育Storing your User Files on Dropbox (and sharing them) is fully supported and documented: <> I've been doing that for many years with no problems. Storing your Profiles on?Dropbox (and sharing them) has more recently become possible and I have been using it for quite some time. We've ironed out most of the bugs in that. You can't change your primary Settings location of JMRI. It is fixed on a per-operating-system basis. I don't see how use of Dropbox could be causing Jay's problem. --?

Hi!
i got back to this tonight. I verified that the PR4 is connected to the computer. In the device manager I unplugged & replugged in the PR4 & watched disco & reconnect. A new connection was made in Panel Pro to no avail. The same issue still exists. I did find out that the connection to the DCS240 was through the PR4. I can't connect to it through USB. There are USB issues with my computer. Things were bad enough my computer crashed & had to do a reinstall. A reinstall of JMRI & it still happens. A thought just occurred to me, all my prefs are in my Dropbox folder. Everything except for the base install. I did that to keep from losing my loco's & pref's through each iteration of JMRI. Could the issue be there?? Jay |

Hi
I cannot recreate your problem. You have 2 profiles, one for pr3 programmer and another profile for dcs240 correct? When you plug the usb into the dcs240 verses into the pr4 you get a different com port number correct? Or are you plugging into the pr4 for both? Steve G.

Hi!
I put pics of my Preference screens in the photo's section. /g/jmriusers/album?id=68645&p=Taken,,,20,1,0,0 Jay |
开云体育Jay,
Do you have a stand alone PR3? ?Or are you referring to the PR3 built in to the DCS240?

Steve, yes, it is PR3 Standalone Programmer.Sent: Monday, August 20, 2018 13:51 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [jmriusers] Preferences are not saving under PR3 mode ?
That is where it is not working. I DCS240 mode everything works & the prefs are OK after restart. In PR3 mode, it always goes to internal after restart. Jay |

So does it work when you select "pr3 standalone programmer"? Thats a specific option, different from what you described. Steve G. On August 20, 2018 2:51:44 PM EDT, Jay <[email protected]> wrote:

开云体育Jay,
Everything you say below is working as designed.?
When you set the preferences to internal, whether you save them or not, that is telling JMRI to only communicate with itself. There is no communication outside the PC. This setting lets me for example test things when I am away
from the layout. What I ‘send’ is played back by JMRI.?

In the JMRI Pref's the jmri-managers.defaults are set to Loconet. It is set to Loconet, PR3 Standalone, Com15. If I change the prefs to Loconet to internal & save & restart, they reset to internal. If I do not restart it stays at Loconet, but I can't program anything. Dick, sorry, it is the latest at 4.13.2 Java 1.8.0_161. Like stated earlier, when I change it to my DCS240, it works fine. My computer is on the other side of a wall from my layout. Hence the PR4. Jay |

You’ve probably already done this, but I had a similar issue yesterday setting up my PR3. Check to make sure that the PR4 is on the right COM port on the PC. Go into Device Manager, Ports on the PC and see what COM port it’s connected to, then check Connections in DecoderPro and make sure it’s the same.?

I'm puzzled by your JMRI version number. It doesn't match anything I have seen. Dick :) On 08/19/2018 11:31 PM, Jay wrote:

Sorry, hit Reply too soon.
Jay, It's possible that your Preferences are being saved, but then changed again on startup. Same result to you, but it would be helpful to know which is happening, to help find a solution. Those settings are saved in a file called profile.properties, in a folder called profile, inside your "Profile Location". You can find "Profile Location" using the Help, Locations menu item. Look in that file for several lines starting with "jmri-managers.defaults.". Those lines should end with "LocoNet", not "Internal". Save your changes, close JMRI and look at the file. That'll tell you how the Preferences were set when saved. If you then open JMRI and the Defaults have changed, we'll know it's happening on startup, and not the save. That may help us debug the problem. --SteveT |
