Altap Salamander Support Forums

I've gotten a corrupted configuration twice now. It's really annoying.

Altap Salamander 2.54

Configuration stored in registry is corrupted, so it cannot be loaded. Altap Salamander was probably terminated during saving configuration. This happens mainly when Altap Salamander is still running when you shutdown system (or log off). To prevent this problem, close Altap Salamander before shutdown (or log off).

I notice in that error message that I should "close Altap Salamander before shutdown (or log off)". Should I really have to do that? I have enough things to remember in my life already.

I am wondering why Salamander can't just simply save its configuration immediately after the user changes a setting, that is, after they close the options dialog.

You really should check THIS thread.

Thanks, SelfMan, but I don't feel that I should have to tweak system registry settings. Save-on-exit seems like a misfeature.

Anyway, I found a work-around: Uncheck "Save configuration on exit" in the options, and do the Save Configuration manually.
