Cmder: Cannot save settings

[strig]

When trying to change the default startup shell to Powershell As Admin the "Save Settings" button is greyed out. Changing the default shell to something else does not activate it and it does not save automatically.

What version are you running?

[strig]

Most recent version - just updated it with the auto updater.

I was able to find a workaround by exporting a new settings file and
replacing the existing one with it. The save functionality is still not
working, however.

I have the same problem.

I am having the same problem. Installed using Chocolatey, so that might be a big part of it. After running
choco install cmder (or cmder.portable) and opening cmder from the Windows search menu I get an instance that in the settings section has its settings greyed out. The file name is C:\tools\cmder\config\ConEmu.xml. This is only writable by the admin, so if opening cmder with the admin user one can change the settings.

I am sorry if issue report belongs somewhere else, but the choco package had a issue tracker pointing here.

I don't support the chocolatey package, I can only recommend you download a build from github and extract it to a location that your user can write to (Desktop for example).

OK, thanks for the reply and sorry about the noise. Will contact the package maintainers using their Disqus forum.

I have the same problem. Any news on this?

[vdecree]

I too am having the same issues

Try running cmder as administrator

[ilbonte]

Had the same problem. To fix this I opened cmder as admin, edited my settings and saved.
