There is a very good reason that the verb doesn't come first:
it's a toggle, not an action.
When this is activated, any FURTHER change will be saved locally.
So if you make your icons bigger, or show hidden files, THAT will be saved,
without saving all the rest....

It seems this is too flexible and too confusing. I wonder if I shouldn't
make it "Save now" and save everything, it seems this is what people
expect :(
