I want to update my Paint.Net PORTABLE installation from v5.0.2 to v5.0.3 but keep the previous settings/preferences.

 

In which file(s) are these settings/preferences exactly stored?

 

Whats the diffrerence between  PaintDotNet.AppSettings.json and PaintDotNet.Configuration.json and paintdotnet.runtimeconfig.json

If you open the files in Notepad it's pretty obvious :)

 

PaintDotNet.AppSettings.json is all of the app settings/preferences, this is what you're looking for. This is the only file you should copy between versions -- leave the other two alone!

 

PaintDotNet.Configuration.json just has one flag that enables portable mode.

 

paintdotnet.runtimeconfig.json is a bunch of weird settings that configures some .NET stuff.
