Confirmed. Seems that the bug is that the Preference doesn't take effect until next time you run Livecode.
I took a look at the Save As... dialog too. It lists "Livecode Stack", "Legacy Livecode stack (2.7)", and "Legacy Livecode Stack (2.4)" which are the same settings as I see when running v6.x and v5.x. Shouldn't there be a new one for v7? If so, I'll enter a QCC report. I also think the descriptions of the stack formats should echo the Livecode versions they apply to, not some other cryptic number. How do I know what versions of LC will work with 2.4 or 2.7? I don;t recall when stack file version 2.7 was introduced but if it was v5, it would be much clearer if the Save As menu options read "Livecode stack (v<whatever version you are running>", Livecode stack (v5-v7)", and Livecode stack (pre v5)", or something similar.
