But how do I make these settings persistent?

Hi uggla
I think you may have to track the location down yourself, however, here is something that may help.
Open a terminal and type

Code: [Select]

touch NowThen change some flash settings.
At the terminal enter

Code: [Select]

sudo find / -newer NowThat should list any files that were modified since you executed the touch command and hopefully
provide enough clues of which files/directories to add to your backup.

Thanks! I tried it and found:

/home/tc/.macromedia/Flash_Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys
/home/tc/.macromedia/Flash_Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settings.sol

But the file settings.sol is only 373 bytes and appears empty. My home directory is already persistent but the flash settings is still not remembered.

Does this work for anyone else?

Hi uggla
Check your  /opt/.xfiletool.lst  file. You will probably find it contains the line
.macromedia/Flash_Player
Anything listed in this file overrides what's in  /opt/.filetool.lst.

My home is set in the bootcode not in .filetool.lst. But I tried to remove the line in .xfiletool.lst anyway and NOW IT WORKS. I didn't know that stuff in .xfiletool.lst is only written to memory no matter what. I've now erased everything in .xfiletool.lst since I have /opt and /tce too in the bootcode.

Thanks!

Hi uggla
I would strongly suggest that you restore .xfiletool.lst with just the one line removed. The purpose
of that file is to filter out directories (or files) that may make your backup unnecessarily large, such
as browser caches for example.

But my .filetool.lst is empty as well and my mydata.tgz is less than 1kb.
