I've been trying to think of a temporary fix for the GUI settings issue until something more permanent is introduced.
'Lateral thinking' so to speak, and I think I've come up with an idea that in theory would work.
Basically:
You set up your system with two profiles.
One profile can be left in it's default configuration, the other you customise to your requirements.
You then use XBMC backup to create a back of your system, ensuring the config files are saved, and use your customised profile as you normally would.
In the event of a loss of GUI settings, you switch to the second profile, and run the restore you previously saved.
This then restores the GUI on your primary profile, and because it wasn't in use when the restore was applied, when you return to this profile everything is as it was before the loss/corruption.
All good in theory. Haven't tried it yet though.
Any thoughts?
