Possible Settings Tab issue - Post ID...

Maybe it is just me but let me try to explain this:
If you have the Settings Tab selected and add code to the Title box and Export the resulting code will not show anything in the title tags. Now add something to the Description box and export, this will now show only the previously entered text for the Title tags and show nothing for the Description tag. Now add something to the Keywords box, the code has the Title text and Description text but no Keyword text. The same thing happens when you add to the Footer box, the resulting code contains the previously entered Title, Description, Keywords and Head items add, but not the Footer. If you enter items into the Settings tab and switch to say the Design tab before Export the resulting code has the items entered in previously.

To sort of shorten that down...
Entering information and Exporting with the Settings tab selected will not correctly write all the information to the resulting HTML.
Entering information into the Settings tab and Exporting with the Design tab selected will correctly write all the information to the resulting HTML.

Maybe a visual would help see what I am talking about.

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.

Opening a support topic would be the correct action.
