Updated preview not saving

Hi,
I'm having trouble using "Save Image" in Maxwell Render (ver 3.0.1.3 x64, Windows 7). When I stop the render, the image file (.png) gets written ("output written 100%") as expected without any problems. Then, if I make a change in the multilight panel (iso, shutter, IBL slider etc.) to update the image, the displayed preview image changes as expected. If I then do a "Save Image" using a different file name, the updated preview is not written. Instead, the original image that was written when I stopped the render is written to the new file name. In the destination folder, with view set to "Extra Large Icons" I can briefly see the file icon change to the updated image but when the Maxwell write operation finishes, the icon updates again with the image that was first written. The "Image saved successfully!" message is displayed in the bottom left hand corner. I've tried different file names, folders, permissions etc. - not sure what to try next.
Thanks,
Mike

I think you also have to press the Refresh button below the preview image so that the main render view changes.

Thanks Mihai.
Two things - I don't usually have the preview window open so didn't see the refresh button and didn't have "Automatic Update After Editing" checked in the preferences. Error between chair and keyboard... embarrassed user signing off now!
