This is what I do;

I create a folder called couchpotato and within that are sub folders called current and then r30, r31 etc.

This way it's easy to go back to a previous version if you need to. All you need to do to upgrade is copy the version you want to the current folder overwriting the existing file (which will be backed-up in one of those other version specific folders.

Obviously you need to first shutdown the app before moving files around. For good measure, also keep a backup of the config files.

Hope this helps.

Do I have to keep any other file than the config.ini to keep my settings? What does the data.db contain?

You need this file, it contains the information about what movie has been downloaded and what still needs to be found. Probably more important than the config file.

Bump.

Another question, on some computers I dont see any thumbnails, I guess it depends on the screen resolution? Is it possible to force a view with thumbnails regardless of the resolution?

I'm working on a better search/scanning script to parse already downloaded movies into the CP database, and need your help.
Please post a sample of your folder structure here: http://help.couchpotatoapp.com/discussi ... -structure

Check to see if someone else didn't already post the same structure before posting your own.

Thanks!

Strange, when adding new movies to the wanted list the thumbnails work.
