True. But just to clarify, what happens is that SH3Cmdr will load a very small TSR which will handle all the communication with SH3.
To keep this TSR to the barest of sizes (now a mere 17kb), it will not undertake any rolling back itself - as soon as SH3 has exited, the TSR will pop up and provide you with the option of re-loading SH3Cmdr where you can press the Rollback SH3 button yourself (and do anything else you want).
I actually like this, because I have always reloaded SH3Cmdr after exiting SH3 simply so I can generate an updated Personnel File. Now, all I need do is click the "Yes" button on the displayed reminder message, and the correct copy of SH3Cmdr is reloaded for me.
Of course, I can click "No" if I intend reloading SH3 without making any changes in between.
Yes, there are ways that I could do an auto-rollback, but I think they are overkill. Plus, for general players that don't tinker with files in between patrols, the need to rollback is unnecessary.
If only SH3 didn't load all the key cfg files at startup - then we could have had some fun using the TSR to randomise settings while the player was at sea. Alas, not to be (otherwise the TSR would have been built about a year ago - I assure you!)...
