Notes not saving in latest zip release

[x11x]

I just downloaded the latest win32-ia32 zip package from the releases page to try out.
I just wanted to report that notes are not saving in this version. Maybe this is not a problem if I build myself (I have not tried this yet).
Also, when going into the settings to change backup directory, I am not able to select an alternative directory for saving data as it looks like the dialog is a file chooser and not a directory chooser (i.e. it will not let you select a directory, it wants a file).
