Save Calculator's settings when quitting the app Apps
Quitting the application Calculator saves all the preferences like basic/advanced mode, precision, show paper tape, recent conversion, etc. However, clicking the red close button doesn't save these settings. Is it a bug or a feature?

Updated exchange rates are not affected (they're saved into a different file).

But if you want your settings to stick, make sure you quit with Command-Q, not the red close button.

Good to know, even though it will probably be moot once Tiger rolls out. The dashboard is a much better place for a calculator...

A big thank you from me as well!
Hated losing the recent conversions.
