While I assume this would keep things like my DLNA setup, podcast subscriptions, custom paths for auto-organize files, and other settings related stuff, will that also keep all my add-ons and their setting intact too?
There's a long list of things I spent a long time getting exactly as I like them. If I lost all my custom regexp find and replace customizations, I would probably never be able to recreate them. And there are other things I remember having to go through tough learning curves to figure out and get right. Even something as simple as getting my visualizations tuned just the way I like. I would hate to have to go through all that again. I'm also concerned about things like codec packs I had to pay extra for.
I'll be honest. I know some of this is just fear. But it's this type of thing that has kept me from truly committing to MM5. If I knew I could kind of push MM4 to the side, but it would be there if I ever needed to use it for something that didn't make it over to MM5 or just to see how I got it to work in, I would dive into MM5 fully.
Unfortunately though I did not anticipate this when I made MM4 the main install. And just so you know, this isn't bashing MediaMonkey. I've had the same issue with programs like Kodi. When you've put so much time into something, it's hard to throw it away to start over again with a new version.
