AFAICT build->set build commands->ok does neither, it assumes save at the
end, thats the problem, and why the save on quit is still needed and why
failing to save on shutdown is a breakage.
The build one is the one I know, my question is then what other dialogs or
menu items etc change settings but fail to cause a save because they still
assume save on exit?

Not sure what you mean by "its the same file", its not the same file and
doesn't have the same contents?
