[docs-scanner] Time-relative version reference in settings file path documentation #24546

@docker-agent

Description

@docker-agent

File: content/manuals/extensions/settings-feedback.md

Issue

The documentation contains time-relative version language in a parenthetical note:

The settings-store.json file (or settings.json for Docker Desktop versions 4.34 and earlier) is located at:

This phrasing ("4.34 and earlier") will become increasingly stale as time passes. Users on current versions don't need to know about legacy file names from old versions.

Suggested fix

Since Docker Desktop 4.34 was released in the past, either:

  • Remove the parenthetical entirely if settings.json is no longer relevant for supported versions
  • If both file names are still in use, rephrase to describe when each is used without time-relative language
  • Add a note about when the file name changed, but phrase it as a historical fact rather than "earlier" language

For example: "The settings file was renamed from settings.json to settings-store.json in Docker Desktop 4.35."
