Configured preferences for Supporting Utilities are not preserved when Rancher Desktop is stopped/restarted

See original GitHub issue

Actual Behavior

I would like symlinks created under ~/.local/bin to the versions of kubectl and nerdctl installed by Rancher Desktop. As such, I have checked the relevant tick boxes under the Supporting Utilities tab.

This works well for me - the links are there while I have Rancher Desktop running and disappear when I close it.

Unfortunately, when I start Rancher Desktop up again, my previous selections aren’t preserved i.e. the tick boxes that I selected are now deselected again

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start Rancher Desktop
  2. Go to ‘Supporting Utilities’
  3. Select (for example) the appropriate tick boxes for kubectl and nerdctl
  4. Stop Rancher Desktop
  5. Start Rancher Desktop
  6. Go to 'Supporting Utilities again - the previously selected tick boxes are now deselected

Result

See above

Expected Behavior

Rancher Desktop should preserve my choices for ‘Supporting Utilities’ across restarts

@evertonlperes Sorry for the to and fro on this.

I’ve now read through #1512 as per @jandubois suggestion above.

Clearly this is a known issue. I’ve added my 2cents/thoughts to the discussion there and so am happy for this issue to be closed.
