No.. As I said..

The file under your userprofile is NOT change by the update.
It will copy and use the file from the install folder IF the file is missing in user profile. but only then


It is only change if you edit the buttons in Menu > Configuration > Button Editor, or activate changing the button by clicking on the "wizard mode '(on/off)' button.. Then it will save your modifications by creating a new MultiButtons.xml file and overwriting the old.
So if you had manual changes in that file. they are gone since the file was rewritten with new configuration in them.

Hi.

To my understanding the file under my username is located here:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\MultiButtons.xml
and as I understand your reply this file is not supposed to change.
if you look at the search res..
the 1st file of 15428 byts is the file I edit and saved. I edit the file with the note editor.
the file of 11192 byts is the file before I edit it. and it looks as this file rewrites every now and than.
you can see also the location of each.
what am I doing wrong?

No that is the User file, This files is loaded by MC if it exits.. If you edit buttons in MC, this file will be updated

The file under the install folder is the "Default" file that is used if the file under the account profile does not exists. So if the file C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Config\MultiButtons.xml does not exists. (As in a NEW fresh install) then it will copy the file from the install folder to the user profile and use that.
When you update MC. the file in the Install folder can be update. so the default layout can be changed. but as soon as you have a file under your user profile. that will not be copied over..

You should never modify the files under program files (install folder).  They can always be overwritten by installer. They are default files to use if user copy of the file does not exists.

IF you run in portable mode. it is different. But then you do not have files under your user profile.
