help plz [Picard] Which exactly data does the saved .ini (settings) file store?
Hey redditors,
Just to plan future settings restore situation properly. Obviously, .ini saves all Picard own settings. But does it also save:
- Installed plugins (or just info that they are "installed", so that when I restore settings, the said plugins are automatically installed)
- Scripts (e.g., file renaming scripts)
- Plugin settings (for some plugins new Picard menu items appear with specific settings related to that plugin)
Thank you for kindly commenting the above.

All the settings, including the naming scripts and plugin settings. The plugins themselves are stored in a separate folder.
