only saved if the instance in which these changes were made was closed. Correct?

To be honest, haven’t tested it but I assume this is correct and makes sense.

The problem is a bit tricky. Made settings, whether via Settings->Preferences, or via the menu bar options, are only saved if the instance in which these changes were made was closed. Correct? This can be very confusing with -multiInst and many open instances. I will remember that.

as a portable version it should have a file doLocalConf.xml (file without content)
in the same folder where noteapd++.exe is. This informs notepad to read/write the
config files, like config.xml, within the same directory. Can you double check and see
if the doLocalConf file exists and if the config.xml does get modified?
