Crash loses settings

Post by toyzrme »

XYPlorer lost all of the favorite folders I marked when my PC crashed.

I think this may be more general than just favorites, but I cleaned up all of my open tabs by marking them as "Favorites".
I verified the new Favorite folders were in the list, and even used the Manager to reorder them.

Then my computer crashed (unrelated to XYplorer).

When I rebooted and restarted XYplorer, all of the changes were gone.

When are settings saved, only on exit? XYplorer is so reliable and stable that I just leave it up all of the time, so it would be helpful if it occasionally saved/backed up the settings.

FYI v24.20, on Win11.

Thanks
