Sorry for the trouble but I have a bunch of Entries in File Type Setup but they aren't persistent & randomly some Entries disappear, & I have to re-enter them constantly. If you could fix that in a future update that would be brilliant ! 😊

Not something I have seen happen.

If you have multiple instances open. they can overwrite each other if you do changes in both of them.

When does it happen? Reproducible ?

Sometimes when I click Restore Defaults it creates multiple cloned entries of the Built-In Viewers, then when I restart a few times it perhaps gets pruned out & some Entries I explicitly made vanishes. I will report if it happens again, but I had 3-4 Entries in Launchers & 1 of them disappeared, & also some Textfile Editors I added. Needs to be more reliable, the File Type Setup, I'am just speculating, but if those multiple Entries don't appear when clicking Restore Defaults, then maybe the Entries won't get deleted upon next restart.  :o Even when I don't click Restore Defaults, it sometimes loses a few Entries.

When you click restore. all your custom changes go away.
and there should be multiple items for the MCPictureViewer.

There is "Reset To Default" & "Reset" I clicked "Reset To Default" I think it only reverts the values in the current tab which is how I like it.

and there should be multiple items for the MCPictureViewer.

Also I replaced MC PictureViewr /w JPEGView so that I could cycle through images (but this is resolved now.) But some Entries disappear over time. Is there a requirement to insert paths in double quotes when there are spaces ? 😵 P.S: I think it was because I had wrapped double quotes around paths /w spaces. I'll let you know if it happens again. 👍 So far so good ! Resolved. It was because I had double quotes in my filepaths !
