This is r39552.
Updating an existing Haiku installation by booting from a USB stick and
using the Installer to copy things unto your Haiku partition clobbers
existing settings. This is because when booting from the USB stick several
setting files are created on first boot and later also copied over.
Booting from an install CD obviously doesn't has this problem...
Attached is the {{{ du -a }} output of the ~/config/settings folder of the
install-USB stick before and after booting it.
Esp. bad are, I think:
{{{
4 ./Deskbar_security_code
4 ./Deskbar_settings
10 ./Key_map (<- this one is even in the image
before booting from USB)
6 ./Tracker/DefaultFolderTemplate
6 ./Tracker/DefaultQueryTemplates/application_octet-stream
6 ./Tracker/DefaultQueryTemplates/application_x-person
6 ./Tracker/DefaultQueryTemplates/application_x-vnd.Be-bookmark
6 ./Tracker/DefaultQueryTemplates/text_x-email
30 ./Tracker/DefaultQueryTemplates
4 ./Tracker/TrackerSettings
4 ./Tracker/tracker_shelf
50 ./Tracker
4 ./mount_server
4 ./print_server_settings
2 ./shortcuts_settings
6 ./system/app_server
6 ./system/notifications
4 ./system/registrar/RosterSettings
10 ./system/registrar
28 ./system
4 ./time_dststatus
4 ./x-vnd.Haiku-desklink
}}}
I'm not sure all of these files replacing existing ones have negative
effects, but at least Key_Map and Tracker/* is a bummer as you'll loose
your query templates and replicants on the Desktop.
