Bug Report: Whispering v5.2.1 - Loss of All Basic Settings After Update
Issue Description: After updating to version 5.2.1, all basic settings were reset to default values. This includes:
- Both API keys were deleted
- Keyboard shortcuts were reset
- Recording device (microphone) selection was cleared
- Bitrate settings were changed to default
- no more Autostart at login
Previous Behavior: In earlier versions, updates preserved all user settings without any changes or overwrites.
Impact: While experienced users can quickly reconfigure these settings (as I did), this could pose significant challenges for less experienced users. Although I have stored all APIs in mindMac for quick access, the complete reset of basic settings could be problematic for regular users.
Technical Note: This appears to be a regression in v5.2.1's update process, as the preservation of user settings worked correctly in previous versions.
Request: Please investigate why the update process is clearing all basic settings instead of preserving them as in previous versions.
It's the same for me, and additionally, copying to the clipboard has stopped working for some reason.
I am getting the same issue - all settings lost on restart. Latest version of the app.
Hey guys, sorry for the delay in response! I finally returned to development.
You're absolutely right about this regression. During the v7 release, I completely rewrote the settings layer with proper migration support to prevent this issue in the future. The new system is designed to preserve all your settings across updates, including autostart preferences.
While v7 may require one final manual reconfiguration, future updates should properly preserve all settings. Thank you for the detailed bug report!

Thank you for the great work you do on this application. You are helping a lot of people who can't type well :)
