Re: Easytag does not safe settings in Ubuntu 16.04

Hi David

I cannot find any log files recording the issue.  I had started Easytag 
from Konsole and had error messages saying that it could not open dconf 
database and dconf/local was missing.  I found this reference:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1290596#p1290596

and followed the advice to change the .dconf file in my home directory 
and, as I say, this solved the problem when a new .dconf was written.

Best wishes

John F.
