No, this is the standard Qt dialog and I confess I just hit save
I've never seen "List 3" before but I tried various combinations of New/Save and eventually got a "List +" that did add random stuff to the filename - very spooky.

I can't reproduce this. Can you explain more?
I remove all categories. Add a new one. Rename it "Fridge" and click "Done"
The blue chooser shows the new name.

ah, hold on
If you rename a category it shows the old name on the main window until you 'do something'.

Yes, this is Qt dynamically repacking the list. I don't like it but it's only cosmetic - I will be rewriting the whole category chooser.

Yep. I see that one. I've fixed that before

It saves on close. I decided not to save periodically but to make Shopper not crash. It motivated me a lot in the early days. Most crashes now are when you do weird things like delete all categories whilst adding an item

Don't do that then

Thanks for these v13 - some very interesting 'edge cases' in there.

Actually it's quite annoying... I wanted to release a reasonably stable version with the old category chooser (I've been using it since november with no crashes in "normal" use) and then rewrite that bit with some of the new animations.

<sigh> another release soon then
