A temp fix for the losing settings is to open this folder:

c:\users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\sab.gadget\js

And editiing the settings.js, change the lines(6-11) like this for example:

            this.setHost("1.1.1.1");
            this.setPort(1234);
            this.setUser("username");
            this.setPassword("password");
            this.setTimeout(1000);

Then you have hardcoded settings.

Yup, that did the trick. Thanks a bunch!

While the work-around described by RickDB is perfectly fine for me, I think non techy users would be less enthousiastic. Oh well, Piet said he'll add saving settings, so I'll only be a questions of when, not if.

With this minor inconvenience (hard-coded) out of the way, I can really recommend this great little gadget: the drop 'n drag feature is absolutely brilliant - it makes managing the job-queue so much easier.

Great job Piet!

When the Vista Sidebar is installed under Windows XP, the settings.js file can be found in:

C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Shared Gadgets\sab.gadget\js\

nice workaround RickDB!
when i have some spare time i will finish the saving part of the gadget.

thanks for the replies

Let me know if this works for you!

Did anyone test the new release yet?

I did and the only thing I found kind of strange was the Pause/Resume icon is the upper left hand corner does not visually change unless you have a downloaded added to the list.

Yup, I do.  I love your gadget. Sorry for my crappy English today.  I meant to say in the upper left hand corner and when a download is added to the list.

I do not know how to convert it. It would be very sweet though.
