The update that messed with the order of the properties window, added plugin.GridSize, etc also seems to have broken plugin settings. Every single plugin that I use that uses plugin settings throws me this error now.
13:52:53.183 - Unable to parse settings file for plugin
Here’s a fairly popular plugin that it’s happening with: qCmdUtl
It happens with mine as well. Erm – my plugin settings file is a bit large, so you’ll probably have better luck looking at the settings of Quenty’s CmdUtl.
I seem to have a slightly older version which appears to be working.
Try this zipped rbxm file:
Thanks!
Fresh installation of qCmdUtl works for me; what do I need to do to break it?
I can confirm that settings are not working right. Stravant’s plugins are not functioning right and are relative to the settings.
Maybe it needs to be installed on a previous version and then opened in the current version? As soon as I open qCmdUtl I get the error.
Can you attach your settings for qCmdUtl? Should be somewhere in C:\Users???\AppData\Local\Roblox\InstalledPlugins
Easiest way to get to that local folder btw is %localappdata%
Erm – I have no settings in it. There is no settings.json file in there. It appears there aren’t any settings.json files in any of the plugins that are throwing the error. I was wrong about the second plugin I linked in the OP as well – it’s fine, and isn’t having issues. But even though there isn’t a settings.json in the gapfill folder it seems that the data is still saving somehow. If I move the window to the top right, close new studio, open previous studio, it’s still in the top right, even though there’s no settings.json in the plugin’s folder.
Ok, ResizeAlign plugin is broken because of settings for some reason. I’ll figure out what’s wrong.
Can you check if “0” folder has “settings.json” and if renaming that to something fixes the error? If so can you attach it here?
No more errors when renaming.
It’s still broken even after I delete settings.json in the 0 folder, but luckily I found out what the issue was. If the value of the setting contains a new line and you try to create another setting after that, it breaks.

Install that and it’ll error with “unable to parse settings file” after it creates a setting after the new line.
We’ve disabled the offending change and will try again after we fix newline saving. Thanks for a repro!
