Expert mode in ondemand pop-up not remembered after reboot

[danielmmmm]

The setting "expert mode" in the ondemand popups will default to off/unchecked after a reboot. It would be nice if XPrivacy could remember the setting :-)

Also, could this check box be removed with a setting in the settings menu under "Expert mode"? Afar you don't like too many options, but the new check box in the ondemand pop-up is taking away precious space (especially when thinking about long entries in the white/black list section of the pop-up).
I think this check box is a very good idea for beginners, but it is costly for advanced users. (I know, I am a control freak and I say this as someone who loves the white/black listing feature! :-)

How much trouble is it to toggle the check box once after reboot?

The expert mode check box in the settings has a specific function.

Oh my, you are hopeless ... completely hopeless ...
Btw., the setting "Apply to whole category" also reverts to "checked" after a reboot.

[M66B]

Why am I hopeless?

[danielmmmm]

You are hopeless from my point of view ... which could actually mean that you are normal and I am hopeless ;-)

It's just that issues sometimes get closed very quickly.
I don't think I am complaining about a minor inconvenience. People are creatures of habit (I might be one of the worst). The pop-up defaulting to "expert mode unchecked" and "whole category checked" leads to me restricting or allowing whole categories and also skipping white/black-listing after a reboot, simply because I don't expect the current behaviour (this is not a concious decision!).
In my opinion, these options should be remembered, always and regardless of any other circumstances.

Good explanation, please take my last message on XDA not personally.
It is just that these little annoyances accumulated and I have learned it is better to express what I feel.

I haven't read your comment yet ... now I did ... I think it's good to let people know how things look from your perspective!
Your comments clearly shows that I failed to communicate the issue well enough!. It's still kind of frustrating to get an issue closed instantly with a response that one might perceive as hostile. I tend to react on these reactions in a peculiar way, as you now know (or remember from past incidents?). That's actually not very different from what you are doing (although more politely). Looks like we have similar reactions, unfortunately misguided by our different points of view or communication failures ;-D
Anyways, I did not request this out of laziness and I thought it would help other (advanced) users as well, even though no one commented on this yet (someone has to be the first ;-).
PS: I fully understand that you filter out invalid requests to minimize the time you spend on XPrivacy.

[M66B]

No promises, but I will see what I can do.

[danielmmmm]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it, and I hope that others do as well!

You can check if it works with version 2.1.26 -2 from here:

Wow, that's quick! Xprivacy is getting perfecter and perfecter every day still, I know of few programmes that are developed so actively and so well.

[danielmmmm]

Just tested it and it works well :-D
Thanks again! I see that it is quite an extensive commit ... sorry for causing so much pain!

Apart from that, I had problems upgrading to the new beta. Usually, I install a new version and reboot immediately. This time, XPrivacy complained about not being activated in Xposed. I opened XPrivacy (as stated in the instructions for upgrading) and rebooted. It still didn't work! Only when I deactivated XPrivacy in Xposed, reactivated the module immediately and rebooted, would XPrivacy work again.
Don't know if this was just a glitch or something more serious.

[M66B]

This is a common problem: wait until Xposed says "new module" before rebooting.

[danielmmmm]

Ah, this time I really didn't wait ... I was too excited :-)
Good to know that everything is fine!
