**What you are seeing**

I re-picked the file through Browse GitHub and my Show Border / Show Line Numbers choices reset, and my description vanished.

Opening a repository shows its folders and files, each tagged with the type the app has recognised.

## Why it happens

Saving from the picker rebuilds the whole configuration from scratch with Show Border and Show Line Numbers hard-coded to true and no description key at all, overwriting anything previously stored.

## What to do

Re-apply any non-default settings after re-picking a file. In practice the settings have little or no visible effect anyway.
