Please make sure ParaView closes properly and does not crash on close, which would skip writing settings.

okey it looked like this was most probably the issue, I quite often quite paraview by ctr+C on the terminal instead of simply closing it.

Which is a neat trick to know when you DONT want to save settings 🙂

yeah, but would say that it is a strange behavior, one would expect to be saved when the apply is hit, I understand what you mean and didnt thought about this, but funny enough, I am not the first person who had exactly the same issue, another person had the same problem in the OpenFOAM discord, I informed him/her of this behavior (y)

This is a Qt behavior.

For non-Qt settings, ParaView indeed does not write them until the application terminates in normal ways (not being killed). We could change that behavior.

I dont know what would be better, but i can confirm you that at least we were two having same issue (and thinking it was a bug when it is not…) so it might be something to consider as this will come up again for other users in the future?maybe?
