MP 1.4.0: XnView forgets shortcuts on exit

MP 1.4.0: 64 bit
OS: Windows 64 bit

XnView forgets custom shortcuts on exit.
Effect: When XnView is relaunched, shortcuts are set back to default.

To reproduce:
1. Go to Interface/Shortcuts
2. Set some shortcuts
3. Close XnView
4. Open XnView
Note: This didn't happen in the past, I wonder if there exists a setting that when changed causes this?

Actual behavior: Forgets shortcuts
Expected behavior: Doesn't forget shortcuts

EDIT: Perhaps fixed. Seems to work after I saved the shortcuts config into the folder set as: "Folder for other files" in Integration/Paths.

"XnView settings" are set to "Use .ini file in folder (Program)".
"Other settings" are Custom, Same as Catalog, Custom.

Saving my .keys file to that custom folder fixed the issue.

It's not good to use 'Program folder'

The setting can't be changed, though. When I try to change it, nothing happens.

EDIT: Ok, got it to change, but I had to remove/rename the .ini file in the program folder before relaunching MP, otherwise it would not change.
