When I open the properties window of a block (indicator) there is a pull-down menu in the upper right corner. One of its options is SAVE, and I have been UNABLE to save anything with it. It always generates the error "can't save properties".

What does this SAVE option do?

All Tool Windows have this drop-down menu. In most Tool Windows, selecting this option allows you to save the Tool Window itself. The Properties Tool Window does not allow this option as the Tool Window itself cannot be customized (although its contents can).

To save any changes you've made to the Properties of an item, you will wish to save the item itself, not its Properties Window. For example, if you right-click on the Price History in the Personal Chartist Workspace from the Web Library, one of the options is Save As. This will save the Price History Plot. But, if you right-click and select Properties, this will bring up the Properties Tool Window (which as been discussed previously cannot be saved).

Thanks, I got it now. But I'll be posting a HUGE wishlist .
