PotPlayer settings

[Montmorency]

Hello.

I noticed that when updating PotPlayer the settings will be erased and I'll have to tweak things again.
In Preferences there's a button saying Export Presets. I clicked and it created a Register file in My Documents.
As I understand when I install a new version of the player I can use this file to restore my chosen settings. Am I right?

Thanks in advance.

Don't mess around with installers and automagic updates, just make PotPlayer "portable"

Personally, I've deleted all the files in PotPlayer's folder except for PotPlayerMini.exe, PotPlayer.dll and the skin file I'm using...this ensures that ffdshow/madFlac/LAV CUVID Decoder are doing all the decoding. This seems to break DVD playback, so use w/ caution.

You can view and extract the contents of PotPlayer's installer with 7-Zip.

I don't want to make it "portable", I just want to know if Export Presets will install my previous settings.

I just erased my settings on purpose and then used the file created with Export Presets. Yes, it restored all my previous settings.

I have used both the .ini and .reg methods with success.

However, I have not experienced the loss of configuration when updating or installing a new version

No problemos, other people may think my suggestion is useful.

Of course.
BTW thanks both for your input.

Thanks very much for this! I was frustrated how PotPlayer often returned to default settings on updates.

In case anyone else wonders what to do:

1. In PotPlayer, press F5 to open the Preferences.

2. Click the "Export Presets" button at the bottom of the Preferences window. You're prompted to save a .reg file containing your current settings.

3. After you save the file, quit PotPlayer and install the new version.

4. Right-click the .reg file. In the pop-up menu that appears, click "Merge"; then click Yes when asked if you want to proceed. Your settings are restored.

(BTW, re the custom skins: They're very well-done, but I totally don't get why anyone would want a distractingly light-colored border around their player... Maybe if you're just playing audio?)
