Just noticed that srs has added an update to ver11. I wounder if there is a way to save the information it took all afternoon to code? Well I took a chance and installed the new new version 11 over the top of the original ver, I wounder if it replaced the config since it asked to overwrite the files. All my information seems to still be there.
Since the data is now stored in the registry, it is even safer then before because the installation will not overwrite the registry settings. This is unlike the prior versions were the install always provided a config.txt which could overwrite the existing one.
This is one reason why most windows application use the registry: persistance of data. Another reason is data security. Most users know how to use a text editor (which will allow them to view, delete, or corrupt settings/data) but most dont know how or are uncomfortable using the registry editor, and thus will most like leave this information alone.
So am I safe to assume that if I install the new version over the old I will keep my settings, and update to the new version?
Yes. In fact completely uninstalling TodayPlus should leave the settings in the registry.
Just a tip:
I plan to use PHP Registry Editor to export the TP registry keys to a file. That way if they get hosed up or if I have to do a hard reset, I won't have to enter them again.
I suppose if you wanted to have alternative versions, you could export and save them and then load an alternative set. I haven't tried this, but I guess it would work. As always, exercise caution when fooling around with the registry!
PHP Registry Editor is freeware. I don't know if any of the other registry editors will let you export keys. I don't Resco Explorer will.
