Hi, i'm having some issues saving the private key once found, it does not get saved?

It does not save. Are you compiling your own version? If so, I can give you a code snippet to add to source file that will generate a saved file with pub and priv key.

No i'm just using the release version, ah that's a little concerning, would be nice to save in case of a power outage, crash or accidental cmd close.

I downloaded a fresh copy from JeanLucPons' 1.5 release, only added the save keys to file feature, and recompiled. I've uploaded a copy here:

It will automatically save a file called "Keys" to the folder where you run the program from. Try and on a low bit (for quickness) and let me know if it worked for you. I ran one test with it, and it works as my other compiled versions.
