    Problems with squelch and auto-inscription

    I'm running into trouble in with squelch and auto-inscribe in 3.1.0, and I wonder if these are known issues. I suspect that it's caused by problems in loading of my user pref file, but I'm not expert enough to be certain.

    Here's what I did: I started up a 3.1.0 savefile, then I played competition 63 for a while. While playing the competition savefile, I saved various configuration settings, including squelch and auto-inscribe. I saved them in a user pref file. After submitting a couple of character dumps to the competition, I tired of kobold rogues and wanted to go my own way. So I went back to my original savefile, and loaded the user pref file that I made while playing Comp 63.

    Now I'm getting items with misplaced auto-inscriptions. For instance, potions of restore strength are auto-inscribed @u1, which was meant for _ID. Restore Con potions get @m1@b1@G1, same as "Magic for beginners." And, frustratingly, useful items occasionally turn up as squelched.

    Just thought I'd put it out there. If I've interpreted things correctly, then I'd strongly recommend against loading user pref files for the time being.

    There are known issues with saving and loading squelch and autoinscribe settings which should be fixed in 3.1.1.
    takkaria whispers something about options. -more-
