I use the datetime-plugin more than one time, to split different information by a separator ( e.g. Week of Year, date ) After the last update (now I'm using Xfce Version 4.0.6) e.g. the datetime plugin was only used to show the Week of Year (Date was "KW %U") and Time was left blank, but after xfce was restartet the time-field was set back to its standard values (%H:%M). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set a inputfield of datetime-plugin to blank 2. restart xfce 3. the inputfields, which was left blank are set back to standard values Actual Results: The fields which has been left blank to be unvisible, are shown again. Expected Results: Save the empty values and hide the blank fields as it has done before.
If the field which is wanted to be empty is filled with a space, the standard values are not filled back in. This makes this bug more trivial, and is only a matter of nice formatting ...
I suggest that you use spaces for empty format. Anyway, I thought that if the user delete whole format string, program should reset the format string to the default value. But now I don't. How about make a button in preference window which explicitly reset the format to the default values?
Adding a "reset"-button to the preferences window is a appropriate solution I think. +1
fixed in 4.4
can be done with orage-clock in 4.4
