Settings missing in 4.18?

Ma'am-I-Am · 06-09-2020, 05:14 PM

I just installed 4.18 over 4.17 and something weird happened. My toolbar, menu, and right-click settings have all returned to their defaults. Did this happen to anyone else? Is there a way to get my settings back?

Didn't happen to me, and I haven't seen any issues raised by anyone else.

Did you install under a different user name? When you did the install did the Welcome Wizard dialogue pop?

Huh. OK, no big deal I guess. It gave me an opportunity to rethink what buttons and commands I actually needed and use.

I don't know what the Welcome Wizard is. When I install, it just get the usual installation dialogs.

Thinking back, I believe it was caused by having Calibre open and my PC suddenly rebooting itself. I've gotten a couple of BSODs in the last 3 weeks or so. Am investigating. Case closed AFAIC.

What file has my settings? Maybe I can copy it to another folder for a backup.

Click the Preferences->Miscellaneous->Open configuration directory button.

Backup the entire directory
