I updated the generator for the books that I have purchased. I used the manual installation ala zip file.
Question, is there any way to update to the newer version of the generator without losing all of the data I input? If so, how do you do it? I would rather not have to go through doing that all over again.
Awesome generator!
What you'll need to do is create a new dataset, and then enter all your descriptive text there.
Otherwise, if you only update the core dataset, then any changes you made will be lost with the next update.
I've neither created a new dataset, nor lost any changes on update. I've always been of the understanding that changes are stored to the custom data folder; on install/update, the core program has no custom data, so custom data isn't overwritten.
