Is there an existing issue for this?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hey there, I'm back with another ridiculous request :). When there are game updates or you have multiple controllers, sometimes the input bindings are reset. Having the ability to quickly recall (in a controlled way) a previous saved file would be nice. I travel with a laptop, so I have different controllers (Farm stick. joysticks and steering wheels) at different locations, being able to change the config file would be a really nice feature.
Thanks for your consideration. Keep up the great work. This is by far the best Mod Manager ever! Scooter

yeah. this has come up a few times. I would be open to a mostly-manual option. I've played with trying to automate it, but it's really, really difficult to know when that file changes - and when it does, what the "best" thing is to do with the new version. But I could see a way to allow you to explicitly tag "known good versions" of the file, and restore as wanted.

oh, I wasn't even thinking of automating it. Just a way to "name" a version and to have multiple copies that could be selected and "make active". It's easy to do manually if you know what you're doing, but having it all part of a "managing application" is really nice. Plus, it may provide a way to assign buttons outside of the game someday. :) I know that file structure is not easy to read when you open the xml, but you've already figured out many things that I didn't think would be possible. :) Anyway, it's just an idea, if you want to pursue, that would be cool, if not, no worries. Thanks for taking the time to look.

haha. yeah, I looked at it once with a view to messing with it outside the game - I dunno that I'll ever get there, but a save/copy/manage tool is totally possible. Maybe with a view function too - things get funky with controllers, but I think I can pull enough information to make a decent guess at showing what does what

As a side note, wanna send me a couple input binding files if you have kept (it'll make a viewer easier when I get that far)? Either here or in any of the discords we share works - we're both in Vertex, Mods & Links, UMC, and the official one looks like.

Sure, I will package them up and get them over. Thanks!
