Saving changes

What it is for

Section titled “What it is for”

Every settings page shares one Save and Revert bar, so you always know whether a change is only on screen or already kept.

The bar across the bottom of the settings screen after one option was changed: it reads Unsaved changes — preview only, with Revert and Save live at the right-hand end.

How to use it

Section titled “How to use it”
  1. Open a settings page — what you change takes effect right away, so you can see the picture, the sound or the language change as you go.
  2. Click Save when you are happy with it. Nothing reaches disk before that.
  3. Click Revert to put things back the way they were — every unsaved change, not only this page’s.
  4. If you leave with something unsaved — the back arrow, the top bar, the quick panel over the player, or closing Kaveo — you are asked to Save, Discard, or Stay.

Good to know

Section titled “Good to know”
  • Not everything waits for Save. On Settings › Library, Categories applies and rescans at once and Clear history… empties the list — Revert undoes neither. Nor does an action on your files or the outside world wait: importing, Recatalogue library, connecting a server, Start recording and Export a diagnostic bundle all happen the moment you click. The one switch that does not wait is File manager integration, on Interface; and no row at all on Diagnostics waits.
  • The quick panel over the player (Ctrl+H) shows some of the same settings, with the same Save/Revert bar.
  • See Diagnostics for logs, recordings and a bundle to send when something goes wrong.
