CIQ simulator 8.2.3 no "save fit data"

In the SDK 8.1.1 there is a working save fit data button in the simulation / activity data menu.

In the new SDK 8.2.3 the button is grey and not working.

    Ironically it's a bug fix for a very old problem.

    You have to press Save in the timer controls before you can press Save FIT Data, otherwise your FIT file will be corrupt. Saving your activity on a real watch is the same as pressing Save in the sim. Of course before you can press Save, you have to start and stop the timer.

    In the past (for like 10 years), Garmin would let you press Save FIT Data at any time, and this resulted in corrupt FIT files for people who didn't know better. Now that Garmin has fixed the problem, it actually looks like a bug.

    This dialog (Simulation > Activity Data) has had user experience issues since the beginning, although to be fair, Garmin has tried to improve it.

    I see now, and working. Thanks! 

    Now that you have described how it works, it makes sense, and this is indeed the order on the device. It might be useful to have a hint message on the save button. Just for the dummys like myself :D
