Cannot add exclusions into XMP-metadata's XMP export privacy settings

[KOLANICH]

I guess we should
1 fix the exclusions mechanism
2 insert 'file' into default exclusions and enable it by default
3 stop storing files paths in bibtex

@johannes-manner Maybe you can add some insight here

Hey, can you please provide an example and your desired outcome and the problems you detected?

[KOLANICH]

I found out that the settings of exclusions are just not saved and that's why take no effect. I managed to setup exclusions by exporting settings into a file, editing that file in a text editor and then importing settings from it. So, 1 bug with exclusions settings should be fixed 2 exclusions should be enabled by default 3 fields containing IDs and files paths (`pdf`, `bibtexkey`) and any other info about environment should be added to the exclusion list by default.

@KOLANICH I'm a bit lost with your description. What kind of "exclusions"? What is exactly the bug that you experience (please provide detailed steps, actual vs expected behavior)...

[KOLANICH]

1 create a bib file
2 create a record, bind it to a pdf
3 Tools -> Write XMP metadata to PDFs
4 Open the PDF in a plain text editor and see your bibtex id and the path to the file there
5 Go to Options->Preferences-XMP-metadata
6 see that pdf and bibtexkey are not there, though they should
7 try to add them
8 You can't add more than 1 record by clicking + button. Even if you do that, your settings are not saved when you click OK.
