Changes in putty profile does not reflect in superputty unless you resave session #917

There are several use cases where you have to change changes to profiles in "putty.exe" after you created sessions with the same profile.

For example, I've Default settings in putty.exe. I've created tons of sessions in super putty. Now I go to putty.exe to change default settings to change a) font size to 12 b) store different private key in auth

Once you save it in "putty.exe", you next time open any session with "default profile", the changes are reflected fine. However if you open through "super putty" where you already created session, it does not reflect. To workaround, you need to right clikc on session on "super putty" -> edit -> just save wihtout doign any change. Now it works.

I think the problem is that 'super putty' saves copy of "default profie' when you create session. You need not do so.
