Retain Celsius/Fahrenheit settings during upgrade

[pz1]

A user on the forum states:

It would be super cool if the upgrade process moved config/defaults.xml or upgrade it. I keep loosing the fahr settings in there and it takes me a while to figure out what happened and then re interview.

This issue also involves other settings retained. User can change many things inside.

If updated via script, it should inform about these changes, but upgrade via UI do not. Unfortunately we can not blindly port user changes from Defaults.xml to the new Defaults.xml, as it can affect Z-Way work.

A three way merge (merge of old original, old by user and new) should be considered.... Let's think how critical is it.

Is it possible to create a 'Users.xml' where these settings can be defined and then controlled within the management section of the UI? Settings could include but not limited to temperature for Celsius and Fahrenheit and Longitude and Latitude for location?

Probably let's investigate first, what do people change in their Defaults.xml. May be a poll on the forum?

Things I would like to retain both in backup and during upgrade that come to mind

• .syscommand settings
• My userCode js files
• My loglevel settings

(IIRC Defaults.XML is retained in backup. I do appreciate that backup and upgrade are different things, but they do have some common ground. Therefor I mentioned both)

Yea, I'm pretty sure this was my issue. I would resort to a simple ugly ui that lets me update these settings. My issue is that after a long time, I forget where the setting is. It's not a huge issue, but aggregating for us users that use the horrible empirical system.
