the title says it all. Very time I file/quit the application, I lose my preference settings. Needless to say, this is more than annoying.

I created a new user on my machine and using fast user switching went to that environment and tested there and the preferences were retained. So the aberrant behavior is somehow related to my environment.

I tried deleting the app and related folders (application support and cache and prefs) and reinstalling to see if that helped. It didn’t and what I found weird was that after reinstalling, while my bookmarks, prefs and workspaces were all gone, it still retained my license info, so some file somewhere persisted so I obviously didn’t do a totally clean install.

So a couple questions.

First, has anyone seen this kind of behavior or have any clue why I might be experiencing it?

Second, any idea why it retained my license info? Is there a folder somewhere I didn’t delete? I used spotlight to search on my license key text string and only found the emails that contained it, no other files.

And I guess a third question. I’m gonna get my preferences all setup and then copy the file into another location so I can just copy it back after this happens again. Is there a way I can use something like automator to make this quick and easy?
