Image File Pattern Entry Not Getting Saved

Release 1.10 Build 074 and Build 075.

Windows 7 Pro x64 w/ all patches and updates. Also Windows 10 Home x64 w/ all patches and updates.

Description

On a PC that’s ‘never’ had N.I.N.A. installed user selected Pattern Names that have been ‘appended’ to the default Image File Pattern are not being saved. Example – if you select $$APPLICATIONSTARTDATES$$ or anything else and append it to the default Image File Pattern then immediately close N.I.N.A. and reopen N.I.N.A. you will find that it no longer shows up as being appended to the Image File Pattern name. Note – the Image File Path has not been populated yet and no other N.I.N.A. customization's have been made.

The PC must never have had N.I.N.A. installed. If you do this on a PC that has had N.I.N.A. installed, N.I.N.A must be removed via Windows Program and Features, the NINA directory deleted under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\ and temp NINA files under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp deleted.

Steps to Reproduce

Install N.I.N.A on a new PC or PC that was cleaned of all N.I.N.A. files.
Use the Default Profile.
Go to Options => Imaging then Pattern Names.
Append $$APPLICATIONSTARTDATES$$ or anything else to the default Image File Pattern. Do not make any other customization's such as entering an Image File Path or anything else.
Immediately close N.I.N.A. (X).
Reopen N.I.N.A. and go to Options then Imaging. The appended $$APPLICATIONSTARTDATES$$ or anything else should be missing.
Repeat steps 2 – 6 multiple times…

I did steps 3 to 6 above six or seven times and the appended Pattern Name only showed up once.

Expected Behavior

The appended $$APPLICATIONSTARTDATES$$ should be there.

Actual Behavior

The appended $$APPLICATIONSTARTDATES$$ or any other Pattern Name is missing from the default Image File Pattern.

I can make a video of N.I.N.A. doing the above if necessary…
