I think I fixed it.? I was running this on a Surface Go that I use in my vehicle.? I had it installed on a removable micro SD card rather than take up space on the internal SSD with the map tiles.? I did check that the XML file date and time changed whenever I closed the program, so apparently, it did have write privileges there.
?
I copied and pasted the entire folder (including the map tile folders) to the root of the C: drive.? I changed the only reference to E: drive (for the map tile folders) to the new location on C: drive.? Those were the only specific file location references in the XML file.? Somehow, that fixed the issue with the "View" being locked into "None."? After changing the View" selection to "All" and closing the program, it came back with "All" selected by default.? I'm not sure why that seems to have fixed it, but I'll take it.? One down, one to go.
?
The map selection still came up with the wrong map.? The arrangement in the XML file didn't suggest apparent reasons for that.? What I found by chance that may have fixed it was that under the "Configure" menu, whatever map tile set you selected shows up when the program starts.? I had been working with the "wrong" one recently and it had remained checked.? I guess that makes sense, but I had wrongly assumed that the selection was just for managing the tile sets.? Apparently, it sets the default tile set for when the program starts.? Who knew?? Not me.? Problems solved.
?
This probably all makes sense in hindsight, and operator errors caused the issues.? Thanks to those who replied.? Your comments got me thinking.
