GUI

Ani

I have no idea what voodoo is going on in there, make sure you have up-to-date QT DLLs (drag and drop files from latest build and replace all when prompted)
You're having weird issues that no one else can reproduce
Make sure you don't have RPCS3 on some obnoxious path like C:\Program Files

I downloaded latest version of RPCS3 and the PS3 firmware PUP file.
Added nothing more to it than the config, compat dbase and theme file to test if theme selection saved.
Tried writing new config file, save options dialog and just closing without saving.
All attempts failed to save this setting.

The installation is on D: and has nothing to do with protected folders.

Moved location of app folder. Removed the old config files. Restarted app. Installed firmware v4.84. Opened Config/GUI window. Set theme and clicked Save button.
Restarted app. Theme setting finally saved!!!

Must be a config issue? So here's my file:

Is there anything wrong in there? Is it a path issue? Can't see what could be wrong with that though. No other apps have issues with that path. And there's over a hundred in there!

My last attempt was to get the old setup working. I finally got it to save the theme setting by copy and pasted the currentsettings.ini content from the new setup to the old. How this solved the issue I don't know! Any ideas? Perhaps the older config had some permission issues or something?

Anyway, all seems good for now! Thanks for looking ito it

EDIT:
Aha! It seems that when you save the current config as a new file, the currentSettings.ini gets reset! It seems that this is the only file RPCS3 uses. Once you create that backup you lose control over the settings. It's as though RPCS3 only recognises one settings file and resets it to default once a backup is made, then continues to use it rather than having the ability to read from other files.

What is this folder path for: RPCS3/config/custom_configs/
If this is where these custom files should go then we need option to save to it when creating a new backup.

I think part of the issue is that [Meta] doesn't get saved to the new config files, so RPCS3 is reverting to defaults created in the CurrentSettings.ini.

I also can't seem to save the GameList icon sizes using the slider. The setting just won't save regardless what I do.

EDIT:
It would be interesting to know how you use this app and how you save your settings for these parameters.
