Hi,
I’ve installed the beta next to the previous version, which is awesome ofcourse. But how can I replace the old Renoise installation with the new one, and keep my settings?
Especially now, when maybe next week there will be another release available, same release, different name, I would like to know how you guys do this. At this moment I have to configure everything like installing the first time.
Thanks 
Your settings (such as theme, keyboard shortcuts) should be in a file called config.xml that should get copied over anytime you install a new version of Renoise.
It never ever did for me, I’ve been installing Renoise (with the usual intervals ) for decades, and every time I had to start from scratch.
I do have the older version installed btw, So I have a 3.4.2 and a 3.4.3 installed next to each other, not intentially though, it just installs like that. Do you know what I’m doing wrong?
Don’t know what you’re doing wrong but I’m doing the same. On my old machine I had a whole host of Renoise installs.
And the configfile was automatically copied to all those different installs?
I’m asking this, because I want to make music, but if I’m going through all the settings again, I need to redo it next week, when the beta release is updated, I’m too lazy for that.
I don’t know. I seem to remember that in most cases it probably did. Though I’m sure once or twice I had to install all my tools anew.
I understand that fully. I wouldn’t even necessarily classify it as laziness. There’s only so much you can do in a day. Not wanting to spend it on configuring stuff is totally fair. At the same time that is an inherent risk you take when running beta software.
Thanks, But I have the same when installing any other version of Renoise, which are not beta.
But anyway, I’ll try to see if I can copy stuff from my old installation manually.
Start > Run > %appdata%
Find your Renoise folder(s)
Copy your Config, KeyBindings, cached plugins, themes, scripts, etc. (whatever you’ve changed) from your previous version over to your latest Renoise folder.
I can confirm that this should be handled automatically when installing a new version of Renoise (on top of a previous version) – and that it has never been an issue for me personally – but that location is where you can find all your config files and other custom stuff, if needed.
Good luck!
This is something that bugged me my entire life when updating Renoise I always had to reconfigure everything.
But because an update isn’t a thing that happens that much, I never took the time to report it, but now I was wondering how other people would go about it.
But thanks man, I can now just set stuff up and copy it when the next update arrives. That’s a lot less hassle
