Category:	MySQL Workbench: Administration	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	5.2.45	OS:	MacOS (10.6.8)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	Administration, my.cnf, not saving, options file

Description:
Changes made to the configuration options of MySQL server using "Options Fille" section in Admin tools are not being saved. In fact my.cnf doesn't even show a change in the modification time of the file and workbench's log doesn't show any error ocurring either.

How to repeat:
1) Open a new Administration instance
2) Go to the "Options File" tool in the "configuration" section
3) Make some changes
4) Click Apply
5) A window with the diff of the changes that are going to be saved to my.cnf appears and shows the correct changes to be made. Click apply on that window
6) Check the corresponing my.cnf file: it stays the same

I couldn't repeat.

MySQL Workbench CE for Mac OS X version 5.2.45  revision 10251
Configuration Directory: /Users/miguel/Library/Application Support/MySQL/Workbench
Data Directory: /Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/Resources
Cairo Version: 1.9.1
OS: Darwin 12.2.1
CPU: 4x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz, 4.0 GB RAM

It would be easier to have some more information of what is going on if the app could be more aware of any problems while saving the file, because for me it shows the message "Configuration file saved." but the file wasn't written at all. The wokbench log doesn't show any problem either.

There is a problem going on while saving my file, but the app doesn't seem to notice it.
