Description

preferences are not really saved right away on OS X, even when "save default" is pressed.

If the host crashes then most/all preference changes are lost.

Preferences only seem to be saved if Mulberry is quit from normally.

Preferences 'outside' of the preferences dialog are not saved right away. That includes window settings, rules. To save those after making a change, simply open the preferences dialog and click OK. Ideally those should be saved - however the latency when using network-based preferences may make that annoying (e.g. a delay when closing a window so that its state is written to an IMSP server will be annoying). I've changed this to a feature request as it does work as expected but could be improved.
