Does IFL save settings?
Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2021 10:35 am
I installed IFL 3.46 on a 16 GiB USB memory stick, copied it to a partition on the hard disk, resized the partition from 16 GiB to 200 MiB, and then created a boot item for it in BIBM. It works very well, except that...
...It does not seem to save the settings that I select when performing a backup. I click the "Save settings" button, and the pop-up appears saying "Settings saved successfully", but the next time that I boot, the settings have been reset to their default values. As far as I recollect, IFD does save the settings across reboots; it would be convenient if IFL could do the same.
The version of IFL that I am using is the one that includes networking. I did not realise the significance of this (a 20-second wait during starup), so next time I will install the version without networking.
While I am here, may I suggest a further improvement? Being "older" rather than "younger", I now need to have text that is on the larger side, so during IFL startup I select option "3" for the screen resolution, even though the screen is 1920x1080. It would be helpful if IFL could remember the selection made, and present it as the default on the next boot. Thank you.
