DSL Tips and Tricks :: Exit and backup checkbox



Quote
When I boot the livecd, it constantly bugs me about saving a backup, and when I untick the box and then select reboot, the box is ticked again. This gets slightly annoying after a while if you're not going to save a backup.

So, I'm proposing:
Add a line to .desktop, something like
backupBox: ticked
which exit.lua would read and save the box state to.


I've found a way to solve that for those who don't need the backup option (ie. hd install) by editing /home/dsl/.dfmdesk/Exit
Line 36 reads: backupBtn:value(1)
Just change the value to 0.
As a matter of etiquette when replying to other posts, keep in mind that a user who checks the "track this topic" box won't be notified of your reply to the original question. Or if they go back to the same thread, they won't see your solution. Why make others have to hunt for it?
Yes, I am aware it can be changed manually. But as I posted, having a configurable option would be friendlier.

Sorry, my bad. I thought it would be easier for other users to find it and I knew the original poster was only suggesting something for the next release.

Ok. I will do this for the next RC.
