Quick Connect settings not getting saved

Hello,

If you open your RemoteDesktopManager.cfg file, do you see the line...

<QuickConnectPrefix />

anywhere?

The file is easily found by going in file-options-advanced and clicking in the hyperlink found at the bottom

Do you know if your user profile are cleared?

I have the same issues.. from version 10.something through the latest 12.0.8.0 (64 bit) (it only happens with 64 bit by the way 32 bit is fine).. using .net 4.6 that was required to install with version 12 of RDM.
This is an annoying bug.. I am able to observe <QuickConnectPrefix /> in the cfg file.. (C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager) but it disappears from the file completely as soon as I attempt a quickconnect.

Here is a workaround:
Insert a very small space character instead, it is almost indistinguishable from the desired behavior.

Open powershell, paste the following command including the quotes: "]$([char]0x200A)["
You will see two brackets.. ] [ .. and between those brackets should be a character that looks like a rectangle.

Copy all three characters into the EMPTY RDM quickconnect prefix text box in the options.
Carefully remove the only the two brackets and leave the space character, you will be left with what is called a "Hair Space" (U+200A).
You should also be able to copy the character from between these brackets -> ] [ (Look very carefully, there is a space in there, with: ] [ vs without: ][ ) You may also be able to copy from the Wikipedia site.
The powershell method helps illustrate the method nicely because the special character is represented as a rectangle char, and this method is easy to document for use later.
Enjoy!
