Check for updates setting resets after app upgrade on macOS
We store settings in localStorage, so when the app is replaced by a new version that gets deleted and settings reset to defaults. The “Check for updates” setting defaults to off, so users would have to opt-in again defeating the purpose of the update notification mechanism.
This doesn’t seem to be a problem after all. It seems like webkit stores its data somewhere else in the file system. I tested this by setting a non-default theme setting and enabling check for updates, then deleted the app, downloaded it from the website and installed it again. The settings were preserved.
