Wrong path setup after an update
Issue #968
resolved
Hello Roman,
After each update Valentina overwrite own path setup with a standard path. It would be great if Valentina can reuse existing path setups of an existing installation.
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit Build 1809 Valentina: 7.0.301a
Maybe also helpful: A "copy to clipboard" button for actual valentina build version within "about Valentina" to reuse this information for e.g. this kind of reports.
Best regards, DivingDuck

Make labels in dialogs About App selectable. Will help easier copy values. ref

It looks like something isn't working as you expect at least in my installation. Let me know if I can help with further information's. If I remember correct, I had this problem with 6.1 and all 7.0x versions.

Sorry for my late answer. I am very busy for this WE.
I download your updates directly from here. The last ones was valentina_0.6.1.0_i386.exe, valentina_0.7.0.0a-20190306101946_i386.exe, valentina_0.7.0.0a-20190406104305_i386.exe and valentina_0.7.0.0a-20190422175832_i386.exe Then I simply run the update.
I use to have all my files in the folder structure user\document\valentina instead of user\valentina.

When you overwrite current installed version you have option to remove previous settings. Leave it disabled (by default it disabled) and installer will keep old settings.

As I told already, I had a really busy weekend. So you maybe was too fast in closing this issue.
- Unfortunately I didn't saw and see any option to remove a setting during the whole update process. Pls. see attached pictures of the installation process.
- I once more updated the existing installation. Result: My settings was replaced with the standard settings.
I like to attach the video I just made what shows exactly the behavior. This seems not possible as it is bigger than 1MB (4.1MB) and not an picture. I can send it as email if you can provide me a email address.
.
Edit: Maybe picture 4 is the rout cause of the problem?

You could try to rerender the video in a smaller format and/or use more compression. Also use a codec that's geared towards streaming - like mp4.
OR
Get a gmail account which automatically gives you a 15gb cloud space... upload the video there and paste the link here.

@DivingDuck i don't need a video. Your screenshots give me enough information. So ... .
- Are you using German language here? It's interesting that nobody ever complain about strange string "Undefined //just in case (should be equal to English)".
- Can you help me to translate the setup interface on your language? It's only few strings.
This is how it must work. And i don't know why you don't see it.- The option by default disabled. So, i make a conclusion that in your case it enabled and hidden. As i know Inno setup keep previous data in register.

Hi Roman,
Yes, the system language is German. Sure, I will help you with the german translation for this (see below). How have you organize the translation, are you using transifex for localisation?
Translations:
Additional shortcuts --> Zusätzliche Verknüpfungen Create a desktop shortcut --> Verknüpfung auf dem Desktop erstellen
Create file associations --> Dateizuordnungen erstellen: .val (Pattern File) --> .val (Schnittmusterdatei) .vit (Individual measurement file) --> .vit (Individuelle Maßdatei) .vst (Multi size measurement file) --> .vst (Multi-Size Maßdatei)
(I reuse multi size in german too as I think this is a well known term too. Please change if someone have a better suggestion)
Manage settings --> Einstellungen verwalten Remove any existing settings --> Alle vorhandenen Einstellungen entfernen
Hope, this will help you.
Best regards, Armin

Yes, we have been using Transifex, but not for localizing Windows installer.

Roman. here is a set of translations I saw in your valentina.iss file. I didn't found two strings I saw in your provided installation picture. I put them on top of the translation. Guess you will know where to put them, This is all I can do so fare. Please ask if there is more to translate on this topic. Best regards, Armin

According to Inno Setup documentation:
So, by default, it must work like you describe. For now i don't know why it doesn't.
