The "Save Settings to Current Folder" in the Preferences pane is greyed out.  How do I active this?  Thanks :)

If we're talking about the same setting, it looks like you have to enable 'Load preferences from a custom folder' and choose a folder. That seems to enable 'Save changes to folder...' and 'Save Current Settings to Folder'.

I discovered the same yesterday: If you tick the "Load preferences from a custom folder" not only did it then enable the "Save changes to folder…" option but it also asked me if I wanted to copy the current local preferences to the folder.

It's one of those strange, counter-intuitive things about the interface: like for Colours having to use the Load pop-up in order to find the Export option to save your colour set!

Cheers,

The folder that you save changes to is the one you load them from. It's not meant to be a general way to export your settings, although I can see why that would be confusing. I'll think about how to clear that up...

Oh, as for the Export item being behind a Load popup, that's fixed in the beta version.
