Your choice. Thank you for responding. The doc-string of `Custom-save' says "Set all edited settings, then save all settings that have been set." which inherently reduces to (widget-apply child :custom-set) followed by (custom-save-all) Can you recall why you needed (widget-apply child :custom-save) here, that is, something like: "Save all edited settings, then save all settings that have been set."
