Summary

0004080: Zandronum testing versions are randomly disabled/not saved properly

Description

Not sure what the exact issue is unfortunately - but there seems to be an issue where the setting enabling Zandronum testing versions is either randomly disabled or not saved/loaded properly. Apparently multiple users are finding it to be disabled despite being enabled by default since ticket 0002883.

Steps To Reproduce

I am aware of one way to reliably reproduce this bug:

1. Start Doomseeker with a fresh new configuration
2. Doomseeker will prompt you to head to the settings to configure it for the first time, press OK
2. Go to Games > Zandronum, note that Testing Releases is checked.
3. Dismiss the Configuration window by clicking Cancel
4. Exit Doomseeker
5. Launch Doomseeker again using the same config
6. Go to Configure > Games > Zandronum again, note that Testing Releases is now disabled.

I have also had this happen when dismissing the configure window by pressing OK, but I can't reproduce this reliably.

Additional Information

Would the best thing to do be removing the checkbox entirely and having the option always on? The user is prompted whether they would like to install a testing version when attempting to join a server using one anyway.

Notes
(0022620) Zalewa (developer) 2023-01-01 20:09	If this is getting disabled on its own it may be a symptom of a larger problem. Just removing the checkbox isn't a solution. I'll look into this.

(0022622) Zalewa (developer) 2023-01-02 13:33	It was a symptom of a larger problem, where the "true" literals in the config weren't translated to true booleans. Fixed here: 'https://bitbucket.org/Doomseeker/doomseeker/commits/70ca6b77b4f1f0dfc42443b9ffb1136360c296f6 [^]'
