Tea Timer Pickiness

[PeteVu]

Why would you need a timer? if, you are using a quality tea the steep time does not matter. Steep them all day! does not matter.

I agree, high quality tea can be steeped for weeks. I actually like to put tea and hot water into glass soda bottles... and bury them in my backyard on the moon right next to my space-kimchi.

Hi. I downloaded the TeaTimer mainly because I could use a timer on my desktop. I know how to add my own times for what my needs are.

However, I'm having the same problem with the TeaTimer remembering settings.

Like, for example, I don't want a desktop icon. But everytime I uncheck this option, I later re-open the TeaTimer and it's checked again.

Also, it seems to want a .wav file sound. I found a nice one in my music files... but when I re-open TeaTimer it has forgotten the .wav file I picked (or that I picked one).

It seems to remember the additional times I have added to its list.

Help... how do we save settings?

Okay, I just tried DavidH's suggestion and edited the properties of a specific tea, then edited the settings.

When I closed the program it asked if I wanted to save settings... voila.

Thank you DavidH and officemate, wherever you are.

I'm a web/Java developer. If people are interested, I can throw together an online tea timer or a Java based one.

Before I start though, let me know if A) anyone is interested and B) whether a desktop application or a web based application would be more useful. The web based application would have the advantage of being accessed from anywhere, and I could probably have that one finished sooner (I just do Java in class).

Everytime you use a timer a tea fairy loses her wings.
