Just don't delete the config folder when you upload the new version so your changes won't be lost. By default Imagevue comes with an empty config folder. So it won't overwrite your changes.

Sorry but this is the default config.xml file which supposed to be overwritten as we add/change options. And this is the file you should not touch at all as it contains all the possible settings in the systems, settings page is built from it.

Updates do not overwrite any of your files. You can't edit default themes, all other changes are stored in iv-config folder. If you edited any files then you should know which changes you applied to which file.

But you still have to be aware that your personal themes are stil stored in '/iv-includes/themes'
Isn't it so?

Yes, but when you upload using ftp client, it won't touch the folders which are already there. it won't delete your themes.

However themes soon will be moved to iv-config as well, and after this all user modifications will be stored separately of Imagevue files.
