Updating Blender Keeping Settings Etc.

Hi there,

Blender just overwrites all my settings, scripts/plugins. How to avoid this is my question?
I found several ways for different versions. Perhaps the elephant in the room but I know not
of a single way for each version to keep these user settings.

So far I’m really loving Blender. See what I’ve done so far:
(muscle, hair, and other details I plan to do with dynatopo)


ctrl + ‘,’ will bring up user preferences, hit ‘save user preferences’ at the bottom of that window.

I have also wondered how to do this between versions. I think you can take the default.blend and just copy it over?

If you open blender’s new version after it has been placed in the same folder (ie. Applications > Blender > Blender New version folder)
It will pick up the settings from the last version.

This worked for me. Blender asked to copy and restore settings and previous session.
Awesome.
Thanks FloridaJo
