Retain MAME settings when installing

When installing MAME, if there is a previous version installed, retain the user settings (e.g. Region to prioritize, Variant to prioritize, Game types and Features to skip, Create Playlists). Use case - I always prioritize “World” and uncheck four “skipped” game types. Each month, I have to remember to do so. Nothing major, just a quality of life enhancement. Thanks!
