I often break things when I'm making changes. It's handy to have a copy of the zip file to refer to for reference or to replace a file. This option would save me a step and a bit of bandwidth as well.

Also, and possibly related, where does the launcher save it's data? It remembers which directory I've pointed it at between sessions. I keep my game on a usb drive because I'm often moving between computers, will the launcher lose the directory when I start it on a different computer?

Preserving a copy of the zip should be easy enough. I'll try to add it in the next release.

The launcher settings are kept in %LOCALAPPDATA%\CDDA Game Launcher but it should be easy to remake them on your other computers instead of copying it.

It's simple enough to reselect the directory now, but it could get to be a pain when you've added a few options. Will it read it from the local directory if I copy the settings there?

Hmm, it doesn't read it locally, but if I rename my catadda directory to cdda it works just fine on clean startup, so that's nice. I have to remember to check the 'don't move save directory' box, but thats ok too.

I could add the possibility of checking the current directory for the settings file but it might have some weird side effects like if your use drive is on a different letter when you switch computer, it will keep pointing the the previous letter (on your other computer).

hmm...I didn't think of that possibility. ignore that pr I made then. Wait...tell me if it would have worked first, and then ignore it haha

It's ok as it works now, I just need to check a box before updating after I move to a different computer.

This has been implemented in 773b039 and will be part of the next release.
