I recently stumbled upon an issue that, provided the correct circumstances could prove to be slightly troubling. Recently, I had to deal with multiple versions of a test project I'd been working on. I had to store a few things to be loaded at run-time, and saved on close. Doing this, I saved a few things to the project settings. However, upon changing the versions (installing an update) the settings were lost, as a new file was generated for the latest version. Perplexed, I turned to the internet. After a shockingly large amount of searching, I finally happened upon some code that helped.
