It's not saved...
not yet. :)

Ok, so two solutions. Both better that currently implemented. :)
(Currently only 1 category can be "active" or all have to be - it's very bad.)

So what do you think, use such functions:

ma_activate_category (char*);
ma_deactivate_category(char*);
ma_activate_all_categories();
ma_deactivate_all_categories();

... or passing an allocated array with categories to use? Or yet another way 
of doing it?

I have a blackout - I'm completely idealess when it comes to categories 
implementation.
