I seem to be losing my history. All I can think of is it happens after an upgrade. Bug or feature? And I don't see a "export" in Manage History. Thoughts?

Perhaps you had a different type of installation before - standard vs. portable.
Perhaps you find the old installation and can restore the previous configuration

I know that I have updated my installation with several versions now and nothing got deleted, i.e. I have been using a couple of format strings for the last couple of versions without the need to retype them.
So, no, the history does not get deleted.

Confirmed (at least lately). I upgraded to v3.34 from v3.33.1 and history remained intact. Perhaps from an older upgrade? I know I used to have about 10+, now there's only 3.
