I've done a little more investigation

Firstly, this appears to happen regardless of whether I have SSH tunnelling enabled - whatever value I enter for 'SlimServer Hostname' gets reverted to 'localhost' when I next open SoftSqueeze.

Secondly, the problem is definitely occurring when I open SoftSqueeze:

1) I set the SlimServer hostname to 'cjk32' and then close SoftSqueeze.

2) The file '~/.java/.userPrefs/org/titmuss/softsqueeze/prefs.xml', contains '<entry key="slimserver" value="cjk32"/>'

3) I now open SoftSqueeze, and its config page reports that the SlimServer hostname is now 'localhost', but the prefs file still contains '<entry key="slimserver" value="cjk32"/>'

4) I close SoftSqueeze again, and it now rewrites its prefs file, which now contains '<entry key="slimserver" value="localhost"/>'

To me, this clearly shows that SoftSqueeze is either not reading this option from the prefs file, or is reading it and then overriding it internally.


Finally

Is this still an issue in 7.0?

Will need to look at this post-7.0.

Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
