Package: vlc
Version: 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1
Severity: normal
When giving a path with directories to the --config command line argument, the
configuration of vlc will not be saved. vlc does not create the directories in
the path so the file can't be created.
Try:
$ vlc --config=~/.vlc/myconfig
If the directory .vlc does not exist, the configuration is not saved. No
error message is shown to the user.
As an annoying aside, each time vlc is started in this situation, the user is
asked to choose the album art download policy.
