DADman doesn't autosave settings when closing

[steins]

I have my DADMan preferences set to 'Always save file' when DADman closes, and 'Open last settings at startup'. However, for some reason the settings file doesn't save when DADman closes. I have to do a manual save, or use the 'Ask before saving file'.

Monitor Profile Settings file auto-saves on quit like it should.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something here?

System: Mac Studio M1 Max, Ventura, DADMan 5.6.9.1, MTRX Studio with up-to-date Firmware. Tried reinstalling DADMan. Permissions to the folder containing the settings file are correct. Tested on two different systems with same results.

Have you checked permissions on the folder you are saving to?

Yes, user has read/write permissions, and the .dms file are not locked or marked as Stationary. I'm allowed to save and overwrite the file when doing a manual save.

Where is your dms/dmprof files saved on your computer? Any chance on a cloud drive (dropbox location or iCloud)? Try moving the location of the files to a different location on your system (even the root of the drive)

The settings file are saved to a folder in /user/documents/. User (me) has admin rights. I was suspecting some kind of permission issue, but it doesn't autosave no matter where I save the settings file. Also tried root. Manual save works, which makes me think DADman is the issue.

Is there anyone who has the time to try to replicate this on their system, just to rule out if it's just on my system before I sent a support request?

Try to trash the DADman preferences.

Can you upload a screenshot of the top bar from DADman, like this example?
