Error on user-setup

I Noticed today, after reboot that user settings had changed considerably.
I opened ~/.cache/bunsen/bl-setup/log.

I noticed:

Running /usr/bin/bl-user-setup --auto at mån  3 jul 2023 01:27:35 CEST
Config files in skel changed, consulting user about import.
User file /home/rbh/.gtkrc-2.0 unchanged from default, copying new file.
Overwriting /home/rbh/.gtkrc-2.0, backing up old file as /home/rbh/.gtkrc-2.0.20230703-012749.usersetup~

From backed up .gtkrc-2.0:

gtk-theme-name="Dragon"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Papirus-Bunsen-Dark-black"
gtk-font-name="Sans 14"

And that was overwritten with:

gtk-theme-name="Boron-light-aqua"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Numix-Bunsen-Circle-aqua-Light"
gtk-font-name="Sans 10"

Clearly, I had changed .gtkrc-2.0, but Bunsenlabs decided it was not and replaced with new default, without asking for permission.
Running Boron.

Re: Error on user-setup

User permission should be asked before editing config files.
"Config files in skel changed, consulting user about import."
means that a yad popup appears and gives the user the option of applying the changes or leaving it to do manually.

Even if the user chooses to apply changes, in the case that a user has edited a file they are asked for permission, or given the option to view the diff.

Are you sure you had edited ~/.gtkrc-2.0? If a file is still in the default state, then the change will be applied without further questions. "unchanged from default" means that the script thought it was so.
EDIT yes I see that you had changed the font-size to 14, so the file should not have been considered "default".

This has always worked for me in the past (including the recent upgrade of bunsen-configs which triggered your issue), but it's important to find this bug. It will not be easy though...

Re: Error on user-setup

@rbh I'm just about to upload bunsen-configs 12.2.1-1 which will make some more changes to the files in skel. Could you check how the user-setup process works for you?
Thanks!
