Downloading 3.68d ... an opportune time to ask. I think around when the VST came out install changed to just 'replace the entire directory contents'. Or maybe it's always been that way, I forget.
In any case, for the most part that is fine, I have all my patches and workspaces on another drive. But I have to do at least two things every time I install a new version: select my audio driver, and set my VST folder and rescan plugins. Probably other things like set folder directories that I don't notice as I am able to navigate around in any case.
Is there something I am overlooking to make upgrading smoother? Is there an easy config/xml/txt file I can copy and replace to pick up where I left off? I realize selecting the audio driver is trivial, and the VST scan is surprisingly quick for 1900+ plugs (2-4 minutes?). I also realize the format of this config file may change release to release.
Can the user configurable things be encapsulated in some way that we don't lose them each install? Or am I doing it wrong?
