Detailed steps to reproduce the problem
- I followed what lots of people said on the stack overflow. Settings -> General -> Preferences
- on MacOS #1 (closed) I can restart item and it launches perfectly every time. I have customised it a lot.
- on MacOS #2 (closed) I configured the window to be the same.
Launching macOS 2 item and I don't get any of the profiles and just the
I also did the finder defaults write CLI thing too
I renamed ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist
but that didn't help
What happened
What should have happened
They're also something not quite right about the #1 (closed) prefs as I get my 'Save Window Arrangement' opened twice. I just close the second window, but it's weird that two windows are opened. And they aren't the same Arrangement. The first one is when I was developing the Arrangement. The second one is the correct Arrangement.
I use iterm every hour of every day. I am also a patreon supporter :-)
OK. That's weird. It is working now. All I did was 'Toggle Debug Logging' on #2 (closed), Quit and relaunch. Now all my cusomizations are working.
Somethings not right but I can live with the two Arrangement windows. The two window are both appearing on #2 (closed) :-) so the bug is in the preferences somewhere. I tried reading the XML but couldn't fix/see anything obvious
