\section{Immediate Storage of Settings}
\label{sec:CommandLineOptions:Special:ImmediateStorage}

After changing view settings, \newFeature{24.4}clicking some checkboxes, \ldots to make your system display what you need,
you must call the main Settings dialog and press \button{Save Settings}.
This is to let beginning users just quit the program in case they moved into confusing ``settings terrain''.
Location and landscape settings are of such fundamental importance that they are stored only in their respective dialogs.

Some users prefer to have their changes applied and stored immediately, so that they are applied also on next program launch.
Stellarium is on its way to support both modes, but the process is slow, there are hundreds of detail settings to convert.
If you already want to apply immediate mode for settings e.g. in the DSO or Landscape dialogs,
you can enable a flag manually by editing \file{config.ini}:

\begin{configfile}
[gui]
immediate_save_details = true
\end{configfile}
Users of this mode are expected to know where settings are and how to change them.
