Hi milli, etuoyo... this is really odd
It is supposed to save as you close it. Obviously it works fine for me - can you describe exactly what happens so I can try and reproduce the problem?
This is vaguely I remember what I did
1. Installed for the first time.
2. Deleted all sample entries (Note: when I reinstall I don't see these sample entries any more. Wondering if any configuration is left even after uninstall)
3. Closed and opened the app. Could not see all deleted entries. Save worked this time I think
4. Now deleted all categories (Note: Again with reinstall I don't see all these sample categories)
5. Closed and opened the app. Did not remove those categories,
6. So chose save as to /user
7. Since then it is the behavior I mentioned above.
Somehow I feel re installation does not behave as the first time installation. May be there is a configuration/settings file which is not cleaned up during uninstall. I could not find it.

A few easy answers:
There is a config file: /home/user/.config/dgreaves.com/Shopper.conf
if you look in there you'll see the filename
I thought the "help" entries would be annoying if you had to delete them every time so there's a conf option to only show them once.
I do think the "Qt" system save dialog is broken though - I may have to write a custom one
(FWIW ... the image attached is what happens if you use the 'pure' QFileDialog:
ontUseNativeDialog flavour - not pretty!)

Do you have to save it once from "save as"? Or does it have a default location to save?
Do you have to save every time before closing the app?
Also is there a reason not to create the config folder with the application name? I noticed it with another application as well that the config folder having different name(like person's name who developed it) than the application name which is making it hard to find it.

Shopper always saves when you close it and opens the last list you were using when you open it. You almost never need to use the Save As menu entry.
However, when you first create a new list then of course it needs a name to save as
You can do this in 2 ways:
1. Exit shopper and it will ask you. If you ignore it then it doesn't save
2. Do a "Save As" yourself
Then you never need to use "save" again.
As to the naming thing... it's a common convention to use a domain-name as a prefix. If I'd picked "list.conf" and another developer picked "list.conf" then we'd both save to the same file ... <ouch>
Plus these config files are 'private' - your not *supposed* to find them

This happens pretty consistently.

I have same saving problems. Doesn't save when exiting. "Save as" offers "Location /" for save, and after navigating to proper directory saves list there. But doesn't save when exiting program.
Edit: added bug #11003.

Used it for the first time when out shopping. Quite neat. Anyway to make a list and then share by email or bluetooth (using a file format that can be opened on other devices)? Would be great if could send to the wife (and she could go out and do the shopping and leave me to surf the net).
It is supposed to save as you close it. Obviously it works fine for me - can you describe exactly what happens so I can try and reproduce the problem?
