11. NEW: Added "Presets" to view header title menu to allow saving and loading all view settings. (columns, sorting, thumb sizes, etc.)
12. NEW: Playlist views inherit view settings from their parent groups. This allows making lots of playlists (or new playlists) all look the same.

    (Pick Preset > Default to reset a playlist so it falls back to the group's settings)

    (You can also customize an individual playlist inside a group)

13. NEW: Library specific options like auto-import folders get stored with a backup.
14. Fixed: View scheme view settings are no longer tied to view scheme names. (so renaming or moving a view scheme won't discard settings)

NOTE: Columns, sorting, and thumbnail sizes will be reset with this build. This is to accomodate all of the view setting related changes. (presets, playlist inheritance, more robust library view storage, etc.) Sorry for any inconvenience.
