Option to save settings

[czh020110]

It seems there's no option to save settings. Have you considered adding it? SmartSystemMenu appears to have this feature.

The main feature of SmartContextMenu is minimalism and lightweight. I would not like to add unnecessary logic to it and in particular the option "Save Settings".

Perhaps simply upload the configuration file to the repository: https://github.com/AlexanderPro/SmartContextMenu/blob/main/SmartContextMenu/SmartContextMenu.xml - this would be helpful for refreshing the portable version with new features not seen through the old xml file.

Hmm, I could imagine that my problem has some connection with the one described above:

Until now I found no way to update SmartContextMenu and to retain at the same time my individual settings. Usually this can be done by an ini file. (= I update a software but I keep my ini file.) But SCM has no ini file - only the xml file where obviously both the characteristics of a new version and the personal settings of a user are combined. So I have only the choice
a) to work with the xml file of the new version (so benefitting from the new features, the fixing of possible bugs etc.) but losing my individual settings
or
b) I compare the xml files of older and new version line by line and transfer my individual settings manually from the old to the new xml file. I tried it (in order to update from version 1.5.0 to 1.6.0) but it is a very cumbersome procedure. So finally I stayed with the older version.

@krystian3w : Because of the described situation I see the following difficulty: Using any xml file of the repository will not enable me to keep my personal settings as they are in my old file.

I assume the best solution would be the automatical saving of the settings in a separate ini file.
