Apply settings without closing Configuration window

Post by rix76se »

I miss this feature badly. It's kinda annoying that you have to select OK and close the Configuration window to confirm your settings.

Add an APPLY button just like every other Windows program has!

For what? The main-window will not become usable before the prefs are closed.

Already discussed in this thread, but in Czech:
Přidat tlačítko "Použít" do dialogu konfigurace

Similar request (autosave of changes) is here:
Save settings when they are changed?

I know that! But it's pretty handy to make your changes and confirm them as you go. Many of the settings affect the layout of the program that you would like to confirm before you go on configuring.. Just like in Total Commander..
