Re: sophie 3.04 libsavi 3.94

There are two things going on here.

1) Grp options are always reported as 2 by the engine.   The only way to
confirm that a group option is set is to look at one of the options it
sets.
For example, toggle GrpArchiveUnpack and watch the ZipDecompression option.

2) However, there is still an error.  The configuration file lists the Grp
options first and the individual options next.  It also (for some reason)
lists _all_ the individual options.  Sophie reads the config file from top
to bottom, so it first sets the groups, then overwrites any options the
groups may have set by setting the individual options (thus making the
group options useless). There really is no need for all options to be
listed in the default config file.  You should only list the options you
want to change from their default.

Try commenting out ZipDecompression in the config file and toggling the
GrpArchiveUnpack option, you should see ZipDecompression change.
