Hi all...
I remember several times during the development of MC16 & 17 that changes were made that necessitated the nuking of people's TheaterView views and DLNA views. At that time, there was some discussion about either changing where those types of preferences were stored or providing some kind of import/export option for, well, the options
This issue popped back into my head yesterday because my HTPC had a drive meltdown. I had a very recent backup, but it was not a full image of my drive--so I've needed to reinstall the OS too. <sigh>
Everything has gone smoothly in the restoration except for all of the settings in MC--the options dialog, the move/copy files dialog, the access control dialog, the views mentioned above, etc. etc. (The Library and its views came back without trouble after restoring the also obscured Roaming App folder.)
I can recreate many things, but the long expressions I use in various presets in the move/copy dialog are the biggest loss to me.
Where are all these setting stored? If I can find an old image of my original drive, do I have a hope of recovering them?
...and kicking off the discussion again about making a backup of these settings a easier to do from userspace...
