Settings will be not saved, Custom animated as well

[MexxMT]

Hi,

first of all.i love this tool but nothing will be saved.

Now after a few hours of experimentation i'm running into the same issue over and over again.
Nothing will be saved execpt profiles ....

Q: it should not be that changing the profile also changes the lighting effects ?
Q: should not it be that the created Custom animation is saved in the respective profile?
Q: Is there an option to load the settings from a file or at least to load the custom animation from an external file?

Currently nothing is saved, except profiles with which you can do nothing.

I start hue via sudo hue_ui over the console.
Here I get an error which says XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set and sets this to runtime-root
Otherwise, everything works in the app, only saving would be very important.

I use hue on an Ubuntu 18.10 machine (kubuntu) with the latest updates. I installed Python 2.7.15+ and 3.6.7 and installed hue according to the instructions here.

Thank you in advance for your support,

Mike
