BUG: None of the settings are saving upon restart

[BLUEChester]

Checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.

• I am using the prerelease version of Flow Launcher.

Problem Description

It just wont save ANY settings, from plugins, to Flow Launchers own 'General' settings upon closing the app and opening it again. I have to keep reselecting the default file manager, and none of my plugin settings and prefixes are staying the same.

Happy to pay to get this fixed asap as Flow is super important to me! Thanks

To Reproduce

If you open the userdata folder can you see the Flow settings file? If you can s it being updated when you change the settings?

Here's a video of me changing 2 settings and watching the settings file, it seems to only change when I close the program

Setting file will be updated when you close setting window. It will not be saved every time you changed your settings.

And if you just ended the task, it is normal that setting file is not updated

@BLUEChester can you try changing settings, closing the settings window and if closing Flow do it by the in app command or right click system tray option? If you are still having issues let us know.

Setting file will be updated when you close setting window. It will not be saved every time you changed your settings.

Just tried a gh action build. delete settings.json, open flow, then it won't create a new one again.
