Hyper: v 3.0.0 destroys settings

[dontsave]

I was prompted to update hyper to v3 and now my config is completely reset, likely costing me a number of hours trying to get my settings back to the way they were.

OS: Windows 10
shell: WSL

Same here. Open preferences before clicking to update, then copy things over.

The update should really create a .hyper.js.old or something.

This happened to me, too. After a quick panic, it looks like the "old" config file still exists, and that Hyper is not loading the configuration from the old location (c:\users\<username>\.hyper.js).

I've done a quick look at the repo but can't seem to pinpoint where the default config location is.

I originally installed Hyper via chocolatey. After letting the app self-update, chocolatey still shows it as being 2.1.2 - which is also the version posted on chocolatey. Not sure if there is a connection or conflict between how chocolatey installs and the app self-updating, but thought I'd point it out.

Looks like it moved to %appdata%\Hyper. I can confirm that the old config file is still there (where there = %userprofile%).

[bobted]

Overwriting .hyper.js in %appdata%\Hyper with the file in %userprofile% brings back the old configuration.

@bobted that did it. phew was worried I'd lost a lot of config. will leave this issue open for a bit for others who I am sure are running into the same issue

I have the same issue.
I copy the .hyper.js (from version 2.x) to C:\Users\myuser\AppData\RoamingHyper but after restart hyper the hyper.jswill be ignored again. ls -lwill show these output (C:\Users\myuser\AppData\RoamingHyper)

.hyper_plugins
blob_storage
Cache
GPUCache
logs
webrtc_event_logs
.hyper.js
config.json
Network Persistent State

Can someone help me resolve this issue on Windows 10?
