iTerm is the most powerfull terminal emulator I know on Mac osX. I first thought the dev of this projec was over when Apple released Leopard. Today a co-worker just get an update warning. Checking it shows there indeed was a new update, version 0820 (20th of August ? :) ).

The changeLog on the website reference few features and small bug enhancement PLUS a « Fixed nasty crashing bug« . I really hope this is the one I had once and a while (especialy when doing copy/past).

My friend did the update. When starting iTerm he has lost all his (51) bookmarks. Personaly I don’t use bookmarks. But he was really pissed off. After few minutes searching WHY no iTerm.plist was created when changing the config of iTerm, I finaly found that the config file name was changed.

The solution is to rename iTerm.plist to net.sourceforge.iTerm.plist in the Library/Preferences folder of your user (Bibliotheque/Preferences for French users). You can also do it from the Terminal this way (and keep your original file) :

cp ~/Library/Preferences/iTerm.plist ~/Library/Preferences/net.sourceforge.iTerm.plist

-EDIT-
It wasn’t long for iTerm to correct this « bug » :

Version 0.9.5.0821 includes the following changes:
* Fixed a bug in 0.9.5.0821 that causes loss of preferences when upgrade.
