I was recently prompted to update GnuCash to version 4.8 and did so. When I subsequently launched the program I found that my preferences had been removed, presumbaly reset to default. Also, GnuCash did not open my database by default, I had to manually open it (File > Open...).
I've got an idea this may have occurred in the past but I don't think it's happened with every GnuCash Update. That is, my preferences are usually not affected by an update. My question is: is this (preferences being reset) an expected behaviour with version 4.8, or a glitch?
Kind regards

GnuCash alters the way it stores settings on major version updates. The local version is similarly affected. My local upgrade to 4.8 did the exact same thing.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
