Hi Rich, the %26 characters are ok, they would be & characters since the Qt settings facility URL encodes keys and %26 is the URL encoded form for a & character. & characters are legal in configuration names, they will make an key accelerator for the following character (shown by an underline of the accelerator character), if you want a real & in a configuration name then you must type && and that will escape the accelerator function leaving just a & printed. When I have seen this defect happen it seems to be other WSJT-X menu entry text that ends up in the configuration keys, I have no idea why or how but he configuration switching does some quite complex processing to re-write the whole of the settings file so anything is possible. So far I have not found a way to reliably reproduce the issue so I can work out where it is going wrong. 73 Bill G4WJS. ___ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel

Hi Bill, Thanks for the guideline, in any case I saved a *.ini file as backup, just in case. -- 73 de Marco, PY1ZRJ ___ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel

Bill, My previous configuration problem report was for WSJT-X RC Linux. I have not yet tried with WSJT-X GA because it is a bit annoying to set the configuration parameters again. >From what I saw I guess this "bug" - if I can call it this way -, is present at least since version WSJT-X 1.9.

The weird thing is that my saved settings are not there anymore! If I click on drop-down Configurations menu, I find several options as: . Default . Default . PY1ZRJ . Default . PY1ZRJ . PY1ZRJ . PY1ZRJ But by selecting everyone of these in turn, I never get back on my saved settings "PY1ZRJ" which were using hamlib CAT and serial cable PTT controls.

[wsjt-devel] problems with Configurations in wsjtx-2.0.0
I finally got around to installing the GA version of 2.0.0 today. I cleaned the system of all old files in the .config, .local, /usr etc. directories before starting. I used the tarball under Debian stretch (v9), and it seemed to install without problems using the directions in the INSTALL file. However, the Configurations are behaving badly. For example, I cloned the Default into a new FT8-HF and an MSK144-6m. These operations led to multiple new listings on the Configuration tab, typically with names like and FT8- And none of the new items had settings in the General, Radio, or Audio tabs. If I try to delete one, another will pop up to take its place. What am I missing? ...
