1.6.2 clear saved variables not working

[TheThingIs]

Clearing saved profile variables isn't working

see attached test profile

This seems to be working right for me.  Are you clearing and then, 'seeing' without restarting?

Note:  This will clear the variable values that are saved to the profile, but will NOT clear the resident variables from memory.

There's a reason it works like this... I can't remember what it was.

[TheThingIs]

haha you need to remember everything :p

but yeah, I am closing va after clearing the saves and they are still there when reloaded

Seems to be working on my machine with v1.6.2:

• See -> "Not Set"
• Retrieve -> See -> "Not Set"
• Set -> See -> "1"
• Restart VoiceAttack
• See -> "Not Set"
• Retrieve -> See -> "1"
• Clear -> See -> "1"
• Retrieve -> See -> "Not Set"
• Restart VoiceAttack
• See -> "Not Set"
• Retrieve -> See -> "Not Set"

How are you closing VA?

I'm doing this:

set them
show them -good

(reload va)

show them - all null
retrieve them
show them - all set
clear them
show them - (still shows values because resident values are still retained)

(reload va)

show them - all null
retrieve them
show them - all null

ok I've found the issue...I'm executing the cmd from the edit window and that's the culprit. Doing it by voice works fine, although I haven't tested a prefix suffix cmd as that was the original issue where it wasn't working in my main profile. I save a lot of dynamic variables to my profile so can't clear them individually so I used this to clear the profile if things get messy. It's currently a voice disabled cmd as it's dangerous so forcing ppl to manually have to do it I thought would be safer

weirdly having the cmd in a suffix is now ok as well. So it's just not working when you execute a cmd from the profile edit window. Not an issue really then as I can work around that np

DOH!  I keep forgetting that little one thing.

Yeah... when in edit mode, it's isolated from the profile.  It's effectively a copy so you can make all kinds of changes and it's not committed until you hit, 'done'.  Sorry about that
