All preference settings are only saved on exit.
Please allow me to update them with a menu pick and thus a ShortCut for automation.

Yes, but I cannot automate that?
And why this behavior weird behavior?
Initial Preference setting...
[OpenedFiles]
Count = 7
After manually changing a Preference setting...
[OpenedFiles]
Count = 0
After closing IDE...
[OpenedFiles]
Count = 7
Intentional or bug?

No bug.
If you just want the currently open files in a tool, just use the PB_TOOL_FileList environment variable.

Will do, but you can't be serious?
If I make a change to any Preference, why is my list Opened Files deleted?
That is why I request that Save All Preferences actually do what I want without exiting the IDE.

The preferences file is for the IDE to store and read its data. It can write there whatever it wants.
