How can I save my ROCKbox settings on exit?

You might try clearing your settings and then seeing if this behavior changes.

Oh, and please use the "Modify" button rather than double post.   :)

I tried clearing settings. Still no dice. Since I'm not seeing any signs of a "saving settings" splash screen on exit, is there any way to verify whether it's actually saving the settings on exit?

Chronon:
Many targets have a USB mode stored in flash that can be accessed in various ways.  On my gigabeat I can attach a USB cable and power on and it will enter a bootloader USB mode.  On iPods you hold Select + Play during boot.  This is where your actions will depend on the DAP you use.  

You can try saving some new settings -- both theme related and non-theme related.  Then turn off your player and initiate a USB session without booting into Rockbox (I believe this is possible on most targets).  Then you can check the contents of the config.cfg file on a PC and see if the settings were saved or not.  

bluebrother:
I'd rather be interested what settings exactly aren't saved -- the config file you posted looks fine, and I don't see a reason why it shouldn't load. Does it make a difference if you select "reset settings" after bootup? I.e., are the settings after bootup the default settings? Or does your issue only affect the theme?

pixelma:
Two questions:

1) For how long do you hold the "power" button? If you hold it too long (about 15 seconds) the hard power off kicks in and the player won't be able to save settings.

2) Even though the posted config.cfg showed the right paths but are you sure that the theme you are selecting is installed correctly, meaning the wps-file is in ".rockbox/wps", the theme's cfg-file is in ".rockbox/themes" and so on? Only then this setting will be remembered across reboots.

cocopugg:
The paths are all correct for my theme's .cfg and wps files. The settings that aren't saved are any and all settings I change after the rockbox default load. I tried "reset settings" after bootup and it clears everything but after I make the new settings, when I reboot it still goes back to the rockbox default settings. I then tried going into the Sansa's firmware to see if it saves my last settings on reboot and yes it does. The problem is only in the rockbox firmware apparently.

UPDATE:

Still no luck. I'm still not getting my settings saved on exit. It does, however, save the "resume playback" position, but not any of the settings, nor the chosen theme. Anyone with anymore clues, I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.
