Apart from blow up printers, the one scariest thing for me about a slicer is losing settings. You spend hours getting your printer dialed in, specific profiles per material and then…

You update your slicer software and it all goes away. I have now learned Cura does this. And does this a lot. Forum posts abound about it. Friends recommend I switch to Prusa because it happened to them. Unfortunately too late for me to write down my old settings, and they’re apparently not in the ~/.config/cura folder anymore. Nice.

      I work in IT and I get that, but we also should have some reasonable expectations here for how a program should handle updates. Not losing key configuration files is definitely one of those.

        Yeah that is seriously terrible application behavior.
