PuTTY options usage unclear
The PuTTY options menu doesn't affect existing sessions.
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
The putty options menu seems to only affect a new session launched by manually entering all parameters, exactly as if one was not using Supperputty. How can I toggle output logging of an existing Superputty session, or save those options for use when launching a Superputty session?
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Launch a saved superputty session (I used SSH and a stored user ID and -pw for password).
- Interact with the host.
- Attempt to log session output using the Putty menu option.
- Observer that the only way to terminate the dialog is to click "Open", as if to launch a new session.
- If a destination is not entered, or "Cancel" is selected, the window just closes.
- No session logging occurs.
- Returning to the PuTTY Options dialog shows that it has reverted to the default values - no changes were saved.
Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
That session logging could be directed to a local text file, and that this could be turned on and off during an SSH session.

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here.
It behaves as if "PuTTY Options" is really just a command to launch an independent PuTTY process, outside of SuperPutty. It will then allow settings to be changed, and logging works, but it's not launchable by Superputty as a Superputty window, and has none of the Superputty features.
I may be missing something obvious; I can't imagine that this was the intended operation.
Thanks! Stan
