Theater View overwrites

So, do you intend to overwrite the entire file every time you release an update to the templates? Which would require a user to restore their backup?

Perhaps you could freeze the name of the default template and prevent users to create user templates with the same name. Then you could always replace that template during installation without affecting user created templates

Yes, perhaps. I'd prefer to see users move when necessary instead of JRiver trying to avoid what they do.

Restoring from an old version isn't very common, and the problem goes away over time. 32.0.10 will seem ancient soon.

Locking this because it was addressed in recent changes to MC. If you have a custom version, protect it by making a copy and then edit its version to give it a higher version number.
