Preferences reset after update

[dim]

After every update checkbox “Start Insync on login” become checked.

seems to be old bug, when are you going to fix it?

Don't reset app settings when updating

Every time Insync updates itself, app settings/preferences would be reset to default, which it shouldn’t. Specifically in my case it’s the “start Insync on login” setting. I usually start Insync in a startup script that runs some checks and operations before launching Insync, for safety and consistency. If I forgot to change the startup settings after every update, it can be potentially harmful for my file consistency.

Is this intentional? Do you know that on my computer Insync start freezes my work for about 10 minutes due to high hard drive load?? Thats why I want to start Insync later, not on login.

Yeah, that’s pretty annoying behavior. And present for a long time. It would be about time that this is changed!
