 So you can safely install LyX 2.2.2 over 2.2.0 without problems and 
you user settings will stay untouched.

Hi Stephan,

Thank you for considering this problem.

I am using LyX Version 2.2.0. I am reluctant to update to
the new version, since it was so much trouble to redo the
settings last time.

Windows 7 Pro 64.

The settings I needed to redo:
Paths in Preferences
Location of pwl_english.dict
Some special keys that I set
Shortcut keys that I set
Colors
Other items that I may have forgotten,
but usually find out about soon enough.

Hi Mark,

LyX on Windows saves the preferences in a version specific directory, IMO.
The "About LyX“ dialog should tell you the location. Make a note where it is
before doing the upgrade. You may try to restore your settings from there after
the upgrade. Compare the files in the two different directories and adjust
them accordingly.

I hope it works as I’m not on Windows. I’ve CCed Uwe Stöhr - perhaps he
can tell you more or a simpler solution.

Is there an easy way to save settings, and restore after an update?


Hi Mark,

it’s not clear what version and on which platform you’re using LyX.

The user settings will not be deleted if you don't explicitly trigger this. So 
you can safely install LyX 2.2.2 over 2.2.0 without problems and you user 
settings will stay untouched.
