How to preserve settings when updating the portable edition?
Every time I download a new portable edition I have to launch DDU and reconfigure the settings. What file can I copy from the old folder to retain the settings but have DDU updated?

You can avoid the reconfiguration every time by ticking the option "Store config in roaming folder".Spartan wrote: Sat Sep 27, 2025 3:09 pm Every time I download a new portable edition I have to launch DDU and reconfigure the settings.

But to answer your question directly, its the Settings.xml file in the settings folder.
