WPS changes on startup

[defgeoff]

This must have been discussed ad nauseum, but I couldnt find the answer to my question after searching the forums....
I have a 60gb Video iPod, and a custom WPS, but when i turn off and turn back on my iPod, a default wps loads and i have to go change it again to get my custom wps to show up. is there any way to keep this from happening?

Make sure you shut off your iPod by pressing and holding PLAY until it shuts down.  This should save your settings, and wps.

In the past (but it's been a while) holding play didn't do it, but rebooting via select+menu did.  SO try that.

In any case, when you get all your settings the way you want them you should save a config file so if you lose them for any reason you can easily reload them.

well thanks for the suggestions!
i tried both the saving methods, but unfortunately neither worked. i guess i may have to reinstall   which was pretty rough for me the first time around. plus i just spent all day loading it up with music.
is there a link you can give me for creating config files? that would be appreciated.

Just go to Manage Settings > Save Config File > Hold SELECT to save

(Use the link too)

It could also be because you don't have your WPS file saved in the correct folder. It should be in .rockbox/wps/

^ that's it!

i must have accidentally deleted my .rockbox/ folder because i damn sure cant see it anywhere.

i'm half way through reinstalling now... but i'm having problems unzipping the font folder to my root ipod directory. none of my archiving programs seem to work, however unzipping the rockbox.ipod file went fine. not really sure what's going on there.

I have the same problem. I have the nano, and the wps is definately in the right place.

I always seem to have to reload themes twice if Ive installed a new version of rockbox onto the player, or if its been reset by switching hold on boot up.

Holding play or doing the select+menu doesnt work either. I make a config file too but it would be a bug worth squashing. (Unless its on purpose for some obscure reason).
