Preferences in 5.04
I updated 5.03 to 5.04 and can no longer change the installation language (german) to english using preferences. Also the default miniature folder display can not be changed to tree persistently. The release notes say: "Fixed the problem on the Mac (Snow Leopard) that causes the saving of profile information to fail." By shifting it to windows?

Re: Preferences in 5.04
Strange, can you please post the log file? We have been using this build for months on machines and haven't seen this bug reported.
Please provide also information regarding what version of Windows you are using, and whether you have other versions of Java installed.

Re: Preferences in 5.04
Where to find this log file?
Some more infos: I have my local cmaps into a certain folder, non standard, and these directories were found after installation.
Now I made another experiment: I changed the root directory for local maps to a nonexisting folder. I was asked to create this folder, answered yes and restarted cmaptools. The root directory was not changed. But when I looked to the directory via windows explorer, the newly named root directory was existing and had an empty, newly generated project.idx

Re: Preferences in 5.04
Ok, I made some tests with another installation and found, that there is profile.xml in application data\CmapTools.
When I change language selection, an empty file profile.xml~ is generated. profile.xml is not changed.
If I change the language entry in profile manually, it works as expected.
But the original profile xml is only in the range of 6kB. While an old one is 13kB. This old one allows for example to change an entry
<property name="FolderBrowserMod_Window_View">
<string>treeView</string>
and so I can change the display from mosaics to tree.
So I just copied the old profile from the 5.03 version and have, what I wanted, but I can not change this via CmapTools.

Re: Preferences in 5.04
I am setting up a new notebook and will do the experiment in a "clean" environment. If I can repeat this behavior, I'll send the corresponding log file. If not, I'll send this one from this machine. It will take some days. Thank You.
