QTerminal settings won't save ..

My settings for the terminal emulater QTerminal won't save. I'm just trying to add transparency. I can set transparency in preferences, which works, but only until I close the terminal window, on next restart it's back to default settings (sort of - it does save my font size and other settings, but not transparency or the option not to show tabs if just one tab open..)

I don't understand - even if I edit the .config/qterminal.org/qterminal.ini file manually and add the transparency, and then set it to read only for user/group/others, it STILL won't have the transparency when I open it, even though the config file still has it. I had it working before but dont know how, this happened after a reinstall.

EDIT: I see this issue already mentioned on the qtemrinal github page, but I don't know how to switch to the fixed branch or repalce the cpp file to make it work

Re: QTerminal settings won't save ..

The branch is called settings-persistancy.

Just clone the repo and switch to it with:

git checkout settings-persistancy

Then compile.

PS: You should ask for support in the main repo, i don't think this is the right place to do it.
