"Enqueue files in playlist..." setting not remembered

When I select "Enqueue files in playlist when in one instance mode" in the preferences and click "Save", the setting reverts back to off each time I start VLC again. Therefore this option appears unusable.

This is a regression - it worked in 0.8.6*.

The problem appears on both 0.9.2 and 0.9.4 for me, and on all three computers (Windows XP based) I have installed it on. On each one I set it up for one instance mode, and it does not remember the "Enqueue files" setting.

Cheers

Hi, same problem here. Enqueue doesn't work since 0.8.6 version.
The problem is in vlcrc file (c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\vlc)

Thanx brucea. This problem is solved adding "playlist-enqueue=1" to vlcrc file, but you have to protect the file as read only because it is deleted next time you close VLC.
Could someone solve this problem in future versions?
Thanxs
