@james said in App overwrites manual settings.json changes on restart:
Do you think we should change this to be only once one creation
I can't speak for everyone, but the idea in my case was to control Transmission remotely using the Tremotesf (https://github.com/equeim/tremotesf-android) mobile app. If you expose the RPC port to the internet, I assume anyone could connect freely, since rpc-authentication-required is explicitly set to false. In that case, having a username and password would definitely help.
I guess this isn’t the most common use case, so it's probably fine to skip the app altogether and just manage Transmission through the browser instead. It’s just not as convenient when you don’t have a computer nearby.
