Describe the bug

File > Preferences opens a dialog where the user can set various preferences.

🐛 Changes to some of the preferences have no effect on the IDE and the changes are gone when the dialog is opened again.

To Reproduce

  1. Select File > Preferences... from the Arduino IDE menus.
  2. Check the box next to "☐ Show files inside Sketches.
  3. Click the OK button.
  4. Open the Sketchbook view.
    🐛 Files inside sketches are not shown.
  5. Select File > Preferences... from the Arduino IDE menus.
    🐛 The box next to "☐ Show files inside Sketches is not checked.

Expected behavior

Changes to preferences are recognized and persistent.
