Save settings without exiting
 

Also, while I'm at it, it would be a heck of a lot easier if you could just save the settings (file>save) instead of being forced to exit. This would then solve the confusion of the apple menu quit vs the the built in file close and for those that leave limewire on 24/7, less of an hassle in case of a computer crash. Also adds the reassurance that it IS saved for sure.

I agree. Generally when I set options or preferences, after I click OK, I assume that those settings will hold because they were written to disk and not memory. Sometimes an application will not keep my settings because it crashed at the wrong time, but LimeWire is the only app I use regularly that will not save settings until the program is quit. It would be good to have a save settings option. It would be even better to automatically save the settings after clicking OK in the options screen.
