Description

Just updated from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3. Lost all settings. This isn't a computer, there's no reason to wipe all settings. Give us the option to retain firmware settings. Just had to

  • reset AP name
  • reset localhost (but that thing isn't accessible via IP nor .local on windows, even after hardcoding the PB IP in the hosts file
  • reconfigure preferred user temps 60/90/90
  • rebind the printer

Research direction

Start by reproducing an upgrade from firmware 1.0.2 to 1.0.3 and checking which settings are lost. Trace how the AP name, localhost access, preferred temperatures, and printer binding are handled during the update. Done means users can choose to retain these settings when upgrading.
