Can't save settings

[frederikheld]

Describe the bug

Touché does not save changed settings.

Expected behaviour

I would either expect a save button to explicitly save settings but I can't find it anywhere. As I can't find it, I would expect Touché to save settings as they are changes.

Actual behaviour

When being closed and re-opened, settings are back to default.

Logs

If required, include logs of the bug:

This error occurs as soon as I change any setting. The FS is not read-only!

Attach Touchégg configuration, placed at ~/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf, if you consider it relevant.

--> doesn't exist

Your environment

• Touché version: no idea. I installed it today via "Software" (not "Ubuntu Software"!) and Touchegg via pa:touchegg/stable (as described in the docs)
• Touchégg version: same
• Operating System: Ubuntu 20.10
• Desktop Environment: Gnome
• Installation method: seems to be Flatpak

Fixed it by running touchegg in the terminal. For me the touchegg docs are not clear enough here. I thought this is only relevant if installed via downloaded .deb.

However, it is working now and it is awesome! Thanks for this great tool!

[JoseExposito]

Thanks for reporting this.

This is a bug, when running from Flatpak, if the folder .config/touchegg doesn't exists it doesn't have permissions to create it.

[JoseExposito]

Fixed, the patch will be released in 1.0.4

[siddhantladdha]

Same issue and conditions except for version changes which are mentioned below.
Touché: version 1.0.5.
Touchegg version: 2.0.10.
Operating system: Pop! OS 20.04 LTS (based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)

However, one additional point I feel might be important is that my .config/touchegg is actually a soft link to touchegg -> ../open_files/dotfiles/touchegg/.config/touchegg.
@JoseExposito should I open a new issue regarding this and attach the relevant logs there?

[JoseExposito]

@siddhantladdha yes, create a new issue and add the logs, please.
