Description:
The app forgets entered connection profiles after Options dialog is closed.
The mysqlx_user_connections.xml has been created properly and presented.

How to repeat:
1. App started Connection dialog appeared
2. '...' button pressed to get Options dialog
3. A new connection has been added with appropriate properties
    (without storing password and any advanced parameter)
4. 'Apply changes' has been pressed
5. Dialog box has been closed by pressing 'Close' button
6. Connections combo is still empty
7. After pressing '...' button again,
    the previously entered Connection profile desappeard

Suggested fix:
After removing those XML files I can start from scratch.

Can it happen because of the strange path?

"c:\Documents and Settings\Storcz Tamás.TRISTAN\Application Data\MySQL\mysqlx_user_connections.xml"

Hi,

I'm unable to repeat this but it may be that you're using a different character set for your 
filesystem?

Could you tell us what your default character set is on your windows box?

windows-1250 Central European (windows)
Regional settings are Hungarian

Thanks. You are probably right that your path the problem. I had thought that we've solved this problem already but well obviously not. We'll look into it.

I have the same problem on WinXP, default character set windows-1250 Central European (windows) - Czech, filesystem uses czech characters (C:\Documents and Settings\uživatel\Data aplikací\MySQL\mysqlx_user_connections.xml).

This issue should now be fixed. I created in internal release 1.0.10.2 that you can download from

ftp://ftp.mysql.com:/pub/mysql/download/mysql_administrator_gpl.msi

Please install this version and try to verify the fix on your system.
