Hi, mushclient always prompts me to save the world file when exiting, even though all my MC objects are temporary.

I tried to diff the versions of my MCL files before and after saving, and found the only difference is in the "data_saved" attributes. I'm using MC 4.43. Is this a known bug and has been fixed in the later versions?


Here's the diff file:


--- a/PKUXKX.MCL        Fri May 14 13:54:08 2010 -0400
+++ b/PKUXKX.MCL        Fri May 14 13:57:43 2010 -0400

It must think you have changed something. Some things that might be doing this are (apart from the obvious ones):


  • SetOption or similar to change world configuration

  • Importing XML from a file or clipboard

  • Loading a plugin (or deleting one)

  • Adding a trigger/timer/alias even if marked as temporary (this might be a bug) - if done through the GUI dialogs

There was a bug in 4.51 where if you added a trigger, alias or timer marked "temporary" through the GUI interface, even though it wouldn't be saved to the world file, the file was still marked for saving unnecessarily.

This has been fixed in version 4.52.
