Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/639

When I started it today, it removed all my settings. After I set a few options:

language: English
one saving preset for mp4
location for ffmpeg

it doesn't save any options, and prints the following error to the log file:

► Title - 
	Saving settings
▬ Message - 
	Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
○ Type - 
	System.NullReferenceException
♦ [Version] Date/Hour -

What's worse, it also deletes the backup file.
