Exporting PrusaSlicer config.ini doesn't always have the changed settings

On several occasions I've noticed that after modifying settings the exported config.ini doesn't contain these changes until after I save the modified settings to new user profiles. Kind of annoying since I want to be able to change stuff, export a config and do a comparison without having to save these modifications first.

Why would you expect it to ?  Changes are ephemeral until they are saved 'somewhere'.  Either in a profile or as part of a project file.  The Config.ini is where they are saved to in the normal course of things, so of course the export doesn't contain any changes until they are saved.

I get that. But wouldn't being able to dump a config without saving be useful? Especially if I want to compare changes using diff.
