## Changes are lost on restart
This is intentional.
Cardinal is meant to be a self-contained plugin, and as such it does not save any files whatsoever.
This includes user preferences (like list of favourites) or last used project.
As a plugin, the state will be saved together with the host/DAW project.
This is intentional. Unlike VCV Rack, Cardinal does not automatically save.
Also, different variants (main vs FX vs Synth) use different files for saving their settings, so there might be some confusion arising from that.
But on the other hand this allows you to have a different template and other defaults per variant, which is quite handy.
## Scaling/High-DPI not working properly, how to fix it?
Cardinal, using [DPF](https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF), will try to automatically detect the system scaling and adjust to that.
On cases where that does not work you can set `DPF_SCALE_FACTOR` environment variable to a value of your choosing in order to force a custom scale factor.
Note that this applies to all DPF-based plugins and not just Cardinal.
## On BSD/Linux/X11 the menu item "Save As/Export..." does nothing
