Last profile started at each boot

Hi,

Since last update of NetSetMan v4.0.1 last used profile is started/selected after each boot. I have separate profiles for Work and Home and one called Disabled. Under disabled profiles I have all my network adapters disabled. This is the profile I'm using every time before I shut down my laptop (Window 8 x64).
Before version 4 after my laptop was started this profile was active - "Disabled", now after boot profile is changed to last one used.

Let me explain:

Work LAN started - LAN adapter active, static IP address, network drives mapped. At the end of day Disabled profile selected, all adapters deactivated. Laptop is turned off. Next morning I turn on my laptop and Work LAN profile is selected (but not started).
Same thing happens with Work WiFi profile.

Autoswitch is disabled, WiFi networks all have "Auto connect" options disabled.

Any suggestion?

Thank you.

Re: Last profile started at each boot

The current version contains a bug that causes the last activated profile not being stored to the settings file in certain cases. That's why after rebooting you might see a different profile being shown as the last activated profile.

This will be fixed in the next version.

Until then you might want to use a workaround: Before shutting down open the main interface of NetSetMan (Full Mode) and click the Quit button. In that case the current profile id is always stored correctly.

Just to clarify: This bug does not affect any of your previously activated settings. It's simply displaying a wrong profile as the last activated.
