Description
Need to have an easy way for a customer to re-connect their settings with the actual device used in circumstances such as
- Moving the settings json to a new computer
- Device/Endpoint id changes due to moving to another USB port or hub, or even from some Windows updates when migration fails
The feature needs to look at what's in the settings file vs the devices that aren't present.
As part of this, the app should add a field to the json indicating the name of the device that the settings were originally created for, so this can be pulled up in any UI.
Options
- Connect to
- Keep, even though the endpoint / device is not present
- Delete customization
Along with this, need to implement the settings json backup / file versioning feature that was in the original code.
