Issues with the integrated "Save Defaults" option

Reported by Alex "Alexspeed" Bachner | December 15th, 2009 @ 09:51 AM

This is from Beta 2.2.3

Besides issue #111 there are other things i found lacking usability.

The "Include Bioware DLC"-Option should not be default savable, it fills the harddrive with every backup with unneccessary large data and it leads to severe waiting time every time the DAModder is opened. My recommendation is to disable this for automatic backups and only allow it for custom backup saves.
The good thing is that its working as intended.

Its apparently possible to add negative Values like "-1" to the "Limit Custom Saves to"-Option, i am not sure what this does then if anything, it dosent produce an error but it shouldnt be possible i think. same with the Value zero "0"

Now to the searious issue:

I am not sure what exactly caused it that i did, but somehow the "saved games" & "limit custom saves to" Option is STUCK with my DAModder.
it happened after i did several different backup tests with different options selected, but i didnt put in the "-1" setting, that one appered by itself.
when i disable that option or change it to something else it resets back to what is seen in the screenshot i attached.
I can change the other options and their values seem to save corrctly (ticked/unticked) but that one allways resets to ticked and the "-1" setting

Then i did a total clean up!
I deleted my test folder for "\My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age" completly, and i deleted the backup folder "\My Documents\DAModder" and i deleted the folder and its contents where i unpacked DAModder.
Then i created a completly new and fresh test folder "\My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age" and unzipped DAModder again in a new folder, a complete restart.

And with the first start from DAModder that option is still like in the screenshot!

I cant get rid of that option. I dont know how to proceed with that now. I will stop testing till i get further advice.
There must be some settings in my windows by damodder that i couldnt delete, maybe in the registry?

I dont know if it martters but i was unable to locate a damodder.xml in the settings folder. there seems to be none.

please help.
