Save Settings with version update...

[geffroman]

I love DVDDecryptor... Will use nothing else... I am a donator... couple of times... but I sure dislike having to redo my saved settings each time I download the latest version... You'll find another donation in your box when this is changed in a new version...

Thanks for a great proggie...

I actually remove these on purpose so as to stop newbies from messing things up!

I'm sure you cant really change that many of them...there is no need to.

Here's what I suggest:

Look in the registry at HKCU\Software\DVD Decrypter
Export that key to a reg file.

Then edit the reg file and delete everything other than the few keys you KNOW you change. You should be able to work out what they are from the names. If you can, it's probably not one of yours so just delete it!

Then when you install a new version, just import your little reg file and it'll work again ok.

As I say, it's important you just import the few keys you're changing. Try not to mess with other ones incase it breaks stuff ;)

I'm sure you cant really change that many of them...there is no need to. Actually it is newbies I hope to help... You see I recommend your software exclusively... Every time you have a new update I send out an email to all my users letting them know it's time to upgrade and reminding them to DONATE... Shortly thereafter I get a few emails asking why their NEW DVDDecryptor looks different from their OLD DVDDecryptor... Invariably I eventually end up with several emails and/or on the phone walking newbies through the settings that they don't understand to get them back where they were...

I need to take a moment and tell you once again that I truly appreciate your great proggie... I just sent my latest $20 donation minutes ago...

But I would suggest newbies probably would be better served by not having to mess with settings each time they upgrade... seems to me they have a greater chance of screwing it up each time they are in there...

Some programs on install ask the question of whether you would like to keep your old settings... Not being a programmer I don't know if that would be a pain... but it would allow the option at least...

Thanks again... Love your stuff... Jeff
