Updates for Portable Version?
The portable version downloaded yesterday tells me that a newer version is available AND warns me that any modifications to existing files, may be lost - if viewed on newer versions.....

Help.

I see no routine for "updating" the portable version. If there are simple instructions for exactly which files are needed to update the portable version, these would be appreciated, thanks

Re: Updates for Portable Version?
There's no routine to update the portable version but don't worry, you won't lose anything in the sh3d files you designed.

The notification message about the new version used to say:
If, during the update of a portable version of Sweet Home 3D, you want to keep the 3D models and the textures you previously imported, copy the files found in the data folder of the previously installed version.
I just updated it to be more precise:
If, during the update of a portable version of Sweet Home 3D, you want to keep the 3D models and the textures you previously imported in furniture and textures catalogs, copy the files found in the data folder of the previously installed version.
