Description

I'm on macOS 10.12.6 with OF 0.10.0 nightly build.

  • deleting the xml settings file of the guiExample
  • run the app
  • calling gui.saveToFile("settings.xml");

all elements get saved but ofxLabel variable does not appear in xml file.

This used to work in OF 0.9.8

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the guiExample using gui.saveToFile("settings.xml"), then trace how ofxLabel is serialized alongside the other GUI elements. Compare the behavior with the stated openFrameworks 0.9.8 behavior. Done means the ofxLabel variable appears in the saved XML without breaking the other GUI settings.
