Hi Bill, I save everything, and will restore probably 99%. One area where I give a little more scrutiny is for apps that I've compiled (against older libraries). I'm happy to let the newly-compiled application repopulate as much as possible -- so long as I can avoid re-tweaking my settings. Also, there could be old/obsolete files in settings-related directories that no longer apply to modern versions of things.
My ALL.TXT is now 1.3 GB, going back to May 2015. Space is no issue, and I'm happy to preserve that for posterity. :-) 73, KD0KZE / Paul > On July 30, 2019 at 2:28 PM Bill Somerville <g4...@classdesign.com> wrote: > > > On 30/07/2019 20:21, Paul Bramscher wrote: > > But I've got a general question with ~/.local/share/WSJT-X.
