I have set viewer settings to be identical for View and Quickview

HOWEVER

Plugins and other settings that are set in the general Options/Settings/View/Viewer
are not saved - they do not survive a restart. In fact they are not applied to any of the Viewer and Quickviewer.

Plugins and other settings that are set in the Viewer Options/Settings
are applied to the Viewer as expected but not to Quickviewer despite the general settings.
They are not saved - they do not survive a restart.

The only settings that apply to both Quickview and View, the only ones that are saved in the INI file are those that are set in the Quickviewer Options/Settings.

In other words when Viewer and Quickviewer are set to share the sames settings/plugins the only settings that are saved are the ones of Quickview, which is the greyed button in the general settings !

It seems to works right for me.
Try to write step by step instruction.

I've tried again.

-Open a QuickView
-Open the settings from the QuickView title right click
-delete .avi in the media extension list.

-look at general settings Viewer, .avi has been deleted as expected
-look at Viewer settings from Viewer menu, .avi has been deleted as expected

Shutdown FCXE and restart
.avi has disappeared from all three settings as expected
Settings recorded in the QuickViewer settings are shared and saved as expected.


Now the problem :


Reverse operation
-Open general settings, write back .avi in the media extension list

-look at QuickView settings, .avi did not come back as it should have
-look at Viewer settings from Viewer menu, .avi did not come back as it should have

Shutdown FCXE and restart
.avi did not come back in any of the three settings.
>>>>Writing back .avi in the general settings was not saved


Reverse attempt 2
-Open Viewer settings, write back .avi in the media extension list

-look at QuickView settings, .avi did not come back as it should have
-look at general settings, .avi did not come back as it should have

Shutdown FCXE and restart
.avi did not come back in any of the three settings
>>> Writing back .avi in the Viewer settings was not saved


Reverse attempt 3
-Open QuickViewer settings, write back .avi in the media extension list

-look at Viewer settings, .avi DID come back as it should have
-look at general settings, .avi DID come back as it should have

Shutdown FCXE and restart
.avi DID come back in all three settings
Writing back .avi in the QuicKViewer settings is the only way to save it

Thanks, Pierre.
It is fixed now for the release 595.
