Subject: [PATCH] Prevent restarts on every setting change

All these do not need a full application restart as it updates instantly without problems, such as if you were on the wrong texture platform you can just change it and it will apply the change.

Haven't tested MapStructTypes, but all the others work and mapstruct should.

Added a Setting save right after the user clicks Ok to prevent lost changes (fmodel crash)
