[sldev] settings.xml: new entry vanishing on SL exit

Hello,

1. Where do I define that entries I added to the settings.xml dont get deleted when quitting the SL client?

I've added the block

    <key>IncludeTimestampInSnapshotName</key>
    <map>
      <key>Comment</key>
      <string>Append timstamp to snapshot filename</string>
      <key>Persist</key>
      <integer>1</integer>
      <key>Type</key>
      <string>Boolean</string>
      <key>Value</key>
      <integer>0</integer>
    </map>

and have added the required functions to llfloatersnapshot.cpp which including the proper

	gSavedSettings.setBOOL("IncludeTimestampInSnapshotName", TRUE)
and
	gSavedSettings.getBOOL("IncludeTimestampInSnapshotName")
calls.

As soon as I quit the client, the block shown above is gone from the settings.xml.
The code to save snapshot as Snapshot-yyyy-mm-dd_HH_MM-SS-XXX.<ext> already works.
Only the vanishing setting lets the client crash on next startup + opening snapshot window.


2. And I dont know how to resize the floater window (floater_snapshot.xml) so the additional line fits in:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<floater bottom="-300" can_close="true" can_drag_on_left="false" can_minimize="false"
     can_resize="false" follows="left|top" height="546" name="Snapshot"
[...]

I increased that height from 526 to 546 but still the last (new) line is floating outside the window now. Do I have to change another value?
I added that block to the file:

	<check_box bottom_delta="-20" follows="left|top" label="Add timestamp to snapshot name" left="10"
	     name="add_timestamp_check" />


Any ideas?

Tillie
