How to keep settings when uninstalling with Revo before installing latest version?

[filmgal]

I read in this forum that it is best to completely uninstall streamfab with pro software (I use Revo), and to then install using the full streamfab download.
I do that but I hate to re-enter all of my custom settings.

Is there a way to keep them?

i think if you uninstall using the windows uninstaller, i think it gives you
the option to remove or keep personal settings

You may be right, but I'm looking for a similar thing with real uninstallers (those that leave nothing behind).
Maybe if I knew where the settings were saved I could rename the file, uninstall, and rename it again to put it back.

You want to keep the %appdata%\Roaming\DVDFab\StreamFab folder.

Or just don't use your "real uninstaller"

What good is a proper clean installation if you just put old files back in?

right. because keeping the setting re file-naming conventions is going to screw up the clean install.

Thanks for the folder location. I don't need all of it. File-naming convention is enough. I'll look through and see what should save.

I'm so lucky to have guys like you around that know so much better than me.

All you need to save is StreamFab.ini

Thanks jpp72. I saw that. Unfortunately it includes v numbers and other stuff that needs to be overwritten with every install.
I wish they had a 2nd ini file that was just those settings that we input. Maybe I'll ask for that.
