Preferences erasure

[dteoh]

Not sure what's going on, but it seems like everytime DevDocs updates itself, the preferences are being erased...

Bump. I'm getting this too, on macOS 11.6
Also, is this supposed to be the icon?

Thanks for bringing this to my awareness for future updates :) Workaround should be simple enough.

backup the old config, it's in your User library folder.
~/Library/Preferences/com.dteoh.devdocs-macos.plist

example:
cp -v ~/Library/Preferences/com.dteoh.devdocs-macos.plist ~/Desktop/com.dteoh.devdocs-macos.plist

install the update, run it once.
force copy the backup over the new file

cp -Rvf ~/Desktop/com.dteoh.devdocs-macos.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.dteoh.devdocs-macos.plist

start the app again, if there's any issues then it's due to structural breaking changes in the config (which seem unlikely) file and a migration script should be implemented, me thinks.

if it works without problems, remove the backup
rm -v ~/Desktop/com.dteoh.devdocs-macos.plist

if it doesn't, notify the developer, or contribute your solution
