Start RSD. Create a new project (Coffeegrinder DDE). Go to the Settings icon (next to Resources), give the project a name, click Ok. Save/Export this project. Open the index.html file and you see this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/coffeegrinder.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/wireframe-theme.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="row">
<div class="coffee-span-12"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="coffee-span-6"></div>
<div class="coffee-span-4"></div>
<div class="coffee-span-2"></div>
</div>
<script src="js/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/coffee-responsive-images.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Perfect, just what you expect to see.
Now in RSD click on the Settings Tab in the right side menu. Enter in just a title, save/export (stay on the settings tab). Open the index.html file and you see this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="keywords" content="">
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/coffeegrinder.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/wireframe-theme.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="row">
<div class="coffee-span-12"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="coffee-span-6"></div>
<div class="coffee-span-4"></div>
<div class="coffee-span-2"></div>
</div>
<script src="js/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/coffee-responsive-images.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Notice that the title tag is still empty even though we just entered a title in RSD and saved/exported the project. And also the meta description and keyword tags are now present.
Back in RSD add in a description now, save/export (stay on the settings tab). Open the index.html file and you see this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="keywords" content="">
<title>Settings Tab</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/coffeegrinder.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/wireframe-theme.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="row">
<div class="coffee-span-12"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="coffee-span-6"></div>
<div class="coffee-span-4"></div>
<div class="coffee-span-2"></div>
</div>
<script src="js/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/coffee-responsive-images.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Notice that now there is information populated in the title tag. But there is nothing in the description meta tag.
Back in RSD add in a keyword now, save/export (stay on the settings tab). Open the index.html file and you see this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="description" content="Just a simple description of the settings tab issue I am seeing.">
<meta name="keywords" content="settings,tab,issue">
<title>Settings Tab</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/coffeegrinder.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/wireframe-theme.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="row">
<div class="coffee-span-12"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="coffee-span-6"></div>
<div class="coffee-span-4"></div>
<div class="coffee-span-2"></div>
</div>
<script src="js/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/coffee-responsive-images.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Now we have all the information in the title tag, and both the description and keyword tags in the resulting index.html file.
Back in RSD add in something to the head section now (I'm using <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/custom.css"> in this example), save/export (stay on the settings tab). Open the index.html file and you see this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="description" content="Just a simple description of the settings tab issue I am seeing.">
<meta name="keywords" content="settings,tab,issue">
<title>Settings Tab</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/coffeegrinder.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/wireframe-theme.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="row">
<div class="coffee-span-12"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="coffee-span-6"></div>
<div class="coffee-span-4"></div>
<div class="coffee-span-2"></div>
</div>
<script src="js/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/coffee-responsive-images.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Note that the additional code for the head section is not there.
Back in RSD add in something to the footer section now (I'm using <script src="someScript.js"></script> in this example), save/export (stay on the settings tab). Open the index.html file and you see this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta name="description" content="Just a simple description of the settings tab issue I am seeing.">
<meta name="keywords" content="settings,tab,issue">
<title>Settings Tab</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/coffeegrinder.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/wireframe-theme.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/custom.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="row">
<div class="coffee-span-12"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="coffee-span-6"></div>
<div class="coffee-span-4"></div>
<div class="coffee-span-2"></div>
</div>
<script src="js/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/coffee-responsive-images.min.js"></script>
<script src="someScript.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Everything we added in is now in the resulting HTML.
This only happens if you stay on the settings tab, if you switch to say the Design tab before save/export everything works correctly. Various combinations of title, description, keywords, head and footer produce different results, i.e. add head code and footer code only and you will not see the footer code in the resulting exported HTML.
I can repeat this over and over on both my desktop and laptop with the current build of RSD. Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
