User prefs not preserved during update/reinstall

[Pils]

Hi Tom/Jan/Cam,

I noticed this when reinstalling V1.5, but also now when installing V1.5.1, each time after loading into the aircraft for the first time after the update/reinstall all the preferences in the IXEG Main Settings are reset to defaults. It looks like the prefs are being saved to a file called 733_TK_IXEG_prefs.txt, however this file is being removed during the uninstall process, while the (no longer used?) IXEG_user_prefs.txt file is being preserved. (A 733_TK_IXEG_prefs.txt dated September ‎15, ‎2023 is included in the install package.)

Thanks.

During the transition of our codebase, both pref files are being utilized. We recommend, for the time being, to backup the settings you deem important before initiating the install process (if it's important to you). As we move forward, we'll ensure a smoother and more seamless experience for our users by refining the preference system.

Hi Tom/Jan/Cam,

Thx Pils...yea, its a transition between old and new and we apologize for the bumps.  Certainly saving those prefs file should get you fixed up for any updates, but as usual, I've made notes of this post to keep it fresh in my mind.
