update preferences table even if key is already present patch 2009-09-23 19:51 849 bytes

Description:   Opened: 2009-09-05 08:09
on Mac OS X 10.6, Previously set font preferences:

editor.antialias
editor.font

are reset. When manually edited (after quitting Processing), the changes are reset to:

editor.font=Monaco,plain,10
editor.antialias=false

(I note that other manual edits to the preference file (such as apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar
work fine)

Hm, have you been running 1.0.6? This may be a regression caused by recent
changes, but they were made between 1.0.5 and 1.0.6 instead of 1.0.6 and 1.0.7.

1.0.7 Font Display demonstrating font changes

This screenshot shows the behavior with 1.0.7 (compare with previous attachment
of 1.0.6 behavior).

This could be related to the preferences-problem I described in my
submitted bug here:

On my machine (OS X 10.6.1, Java 1.6 64bit, P5 1.0.7) neither settings for external editor nor
for the recent sketch will be saved, even if set in the preferences panel accessible from the
Processing menu.

Everytime I start Processing.app I need to reopen the recent sketch and set the external editor
flag again.

update preferences table even if key is already present

This patch causes load() to write to the preferences table even if the key is
already present. Without it, the default preferences (in the preferences.txt
that ships with Processing) will never be overwritten by the updated versions
in the user's preferences.txt. It means that the OS-specific preferences need
to follow (not precede) their generic equivalents. But the OS equivalents are
only in the default preferences file (not the user one), right? So it's just
something for the developers to remember.
