Please retain our settings during an Upgrade to a newer version of GameMaker

[XanthorXIII]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

When I upgraded GameMaker, all the custom settings I had setup were wiped out, this included Paths to where I store my projects, the changes to the IDE and font sizes that I need to have set. It would be nice if you could make it so this stuff doesn't get wiped out.

Describe the solution you'd like

Just make it so our settings don't get wiped out

Describe alternatives you've considered

Really no alternatives to this problem

Additional context

I think the community as a whole would appreciate this

** Update 11/10/23 *** This issue appears to be more related to logging in. The problem I ran into was due to me not being signed in. I didn't realize I was not signed in and had missed the message in the top right of the screen. But that doesn't seem to be a good way to get the users attention that they were not signed in. The previous way of signing into GameMaker seemed to be better as you had to do it before accessing the program. I don't think users were complaining about that but the fact that after a week we had to do it again and again and again. Since that message display can disappear and you only see an outline of person, maybe something more evident that you are not logged in or bring back the old sign in before you get into the program approach.

Were you logged in or out... I suspect you were logged out (look in the top right of GM IDE if you are logged in it will be blue, otherwise it will be grey) try logging in.

I've lost some settings with latest beta too (code editor font), while remaining logged in.
