In my project little-backup-box tinyfilemanager does a great job, thank you for that!
But I have a problem: After saving new settings like show hidden files, my config.php changes from

<?php $use_auth = false; $root_path = "/var/www/tinyfilemanager/media"; $root_url = "files/media"; $max_upload_size_bytes = 1048576000; ?>

<?php //Default Configuration $CONFIG = '{"lang":"en","error_reporting":false,"show_hidden":true,"hide_Cols":false,"theme":"light"}'; $root_url = "files/media"; $max_upload_size_bytes = 1048576000; ?>

This means the lost of $use_auth and $root_path. Is there a way to prevent that?
I would expect the setup to hold any other settings. Is there an error in my config file?

don't change the first two lines, it will be overwritten when you save the setting, you can include your configuration after the first two lines.
