Although I agree that the ini file should be updated as soon
as you click the OK button, actually I didn't realize it wasn't,
I think it's silly that you seem to refuse to close running
programs before shutting down Windows. mIRC isn't the
only program to behave this way, even Windows itself
saves most settings only on a proper shutdown. What's
the big deal? Get a clue and close your programs before
shutting down Windows.
What is your definition of a "proper shutdown"? I define it as clicking on the Start button, then clicking on "Turn off computer". Windows makes no recommendation to close running programs manually before doing this. If I'm running (for instance) MS Word and have an open document I'm asked if I want to save it, I answer Yes or No, then Word closes and the shutdown goes ahead. Word doesn't just say, "Oh ho, shutdown, I'll throw the document away". I personally know of no other programs that lose their settings when Windows is closed down. Only Mirc. Are you denying this is a bug? Try changing a security setting in Internet Explorer and then closing down Windows. When you reboot the setting will still be there.
I agree that it would be silly to refuse to close running programs before shutting down Windows. Usually it's not necessary, but in Mirc's case I have to do it as a workaround until the bug is fixed. I didn't know the /saveini command suggested in another post. I'll try that later today, when I can afford to reboot. If the saveini also saves the notify list etc it would be the most comfortable workaround available.
