Possible to change default settings when building?
Llorean:
I don't see how what I've said could be considered a tirade, and strongly suspect you're interpreting a tone that isn't there.
Custom defaults are of course programmable by altering the source, and you've been offered the fixed.cfg solution, which does mostly what you want. As well you can load a .cfg file by clicking on it, so you can save one with the settings you like, and load it after clearing.
I was just stating my own point of view, which you seem to have taken as a 'tirade' despite the fact that there was nothing violent about it.

I consider both you telling me "where to firect my energies" (I think I have the right to ask the question I like?) and the implication that I'm somehow "pretending it's not there" patronizing. Patronizing is insulting.
Llorean:
I never said you were pretending it wasn't there. I said you were trying to come up with ways to allow you to. There is a very literal difference in meaning in those two statements.
Here's what frustrates me, though, and why I said you should be doing something else:
People can either fix bugs, or avoid them. If they avoid them, more bugs will crop up, and not be fixed. You came here, and asked for a way to avoid a bug, without even bringing up the bug. Have you told the author of album art it causes freezes on boot? Have you done ANY effort to improve the patch, or are you just trying to avoid the freeze and get on with your life?
And yes, THAT is a tirade. I'm frustrated now, because you've misinterpreted what I said.
I do think you're a bad user, and I'm a human being, and have a right to express myself. I may be an administrator, but that doesn't mean I'm NOT allowed to have, and voice, a human opinion from time to time. But I don't consider what I said earlier to be rude. I can easily see how this statement can be interpreted as such, but guess what, rude does in fact happen.
I feel that you should actually try to contribute instead of consciously trying to find a way to work around the problem without acknowledging it.

I see your point and I can understand why you would want to get to what you consider the root of the problem. However, I had given some thought to it. I have on several occasions reset my player by accident (not removing the hold switch) without having given it much thought. Now that it was happening with greater frequency, it came to the forefront so to speak. I had already a proposed solution to the root problem, i.e. try using daily builds as I believe is actually house rules (don't ask questions about custom builds). Yes, it's true, I hadn't got to the stage where I could state with some certainty that it was indeed the patch that was proving problematic. I don't want to start crying wolf untill I'm pretty sure there is one.
And I apologise for the 'tirade' which is probably unfounded after one post... :)
Llorean:
As a suggestion, use "Manage Settings" to save a .cfg file (or make a copy of your config.cfg named something else.)
Then you can click on the .cfg file, just like playing a song, and it'll load the settings in it.
While it's not the same as customizing the default settings, you can do that after accidentally clearing your settings to quickly and easily recover settings you like.
