Update procedure?

[Hugo_W]

Hello everybody,
in the help for FC I have not found any signs of a good update procedure if many things are personalized.

In theory, there are different ways to transfer settings and ad-ons:
- Copy newer files (* .exe / * .DLL) into an old directory?
- Create new directory for FC -> Save and restore "old settings"?
- Create new directory for FC -> manually copy old * .ini files etc. into the new version?

What about ad-ons and self-made adjustments?
A directory for Icon’s “% FcSrcPath% \ MyIcons \ cross20.png” was recently recommended. Is this also processed under "backup / restore"? Probably not.
A suggestion for such own folders would be MYFC-something. "MYFC-" would then be the format or search criterion for the backup procedure.
Best regards
Hugo

You can just install the new version to the same folder, your settings will be preserved.

If you're using portable/zip version, just unpack and overwrite all files to the same folder too.

All Settings are placed in one folder, how to find it:

Everything should be in the Settings folder, incl. the paths for any custom icons and so on.
Plugins are in FC install folder - Plugins subfolder.
