Description

Preferences dialog can be opened twice and it messes the configuration. I mean that in that case, the whole configuration is reset and uninstall/reinstall AMC doesn't restore a default configuration.
Suggestions :
- Make this dialog modal or forbid the user to open a new dialog.
- Add a button that restores a default configuration.

See #93 : this should have been fixed since revision r1236, or is related to a Unity (Ubuntu) bug. Tell us if you're in none of these cases.

I'm using Ubuntu/Unity and the latest available deb package of AMC.

So I think this bug is a Unity bug. Try to switch to XFCE.

There is no need to reinstall AMC to restore the default configuration. You can restore it by deleting the cf.default.xml and state.xml files present in the .AMC.d folder in your home directory.

After deleting these files start AMC. It will open with the default configuration.

The whole configuration is not reset while uninstalling/reinstalling AMC as the .AMC.d folder, which stores the user preferences, is not removed during uninstallation .
