MultiDataViewer color theme change not saving

Mathias (Author):
If you run normal installation check that the file is changed when you save
C:\Users\<username>AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\Extensions\MultiFileViewer\MultiFileViewer.xml

maybe there is some permission issue..

if you run portable edition, then it is located under the the start folder..

Ulfhednar:
Thanks Mathias ;)
It is saving.
I checked the datestamp & it shows it was updated yesterday.
Todays cold-boot reverted back to original default.
Have just watched it update the file timestamp again as I re-saved with new default.
As far as I can see AV logs show it is NOT being sandboxed (If it were, would the timestamp change..?)
Weird. ???

This is the updated/saved xml - it looks correct to me & it is working globally :-\

Update
Rebooted & I'm back to original default, also reverts if I restart MC in the same session...
Timestamps update. I will see if I can see anything else in the logs.

Ulfhednar:
Still cannot see an obvious reason for reverting to the original default.
Wondered if MC was reading the .bak but removing it makes no difference.

I tried comparing what was saved yesterday with the backup & also todays save - there doesn't seem to be any difference in the changes I make, they work until MC is restarted

Is there an error in the way the xml is being written causing it to be bypassed on restart?

Mathias (Author):
Strang. I can not recreate that
The Config file is only read when it start the first time, then the info is kept in memory. (until MC is closed)
It might fail to read the config file if the xml is not valid. like if you edit it by hand and forgot a character in the correct place.
If you open the xml file in a browser they will complain if it is not correctly formatted.

Ulfhednar:
Hi Mathias
I loaded it into an editor with no errors shown
I tried a browser & it said no style info
I used https://www.xmlvalidation.com & it said no errors.

Still will not fully load on start...
Strips (Stripes) &/or Lines are the only settings I can get to persist when altering the default. This implies it is being read & actioned but no color change loaded ???
Are there any dependencies which I might not yet have installed since the clean OS install? (I've done all the C++ & .Net varieties).
