hmm... thanks, seems that it must have already been updated since i downloaded and executed a nightly build before i even posted this?
i guess i could always just open up an instance of each version and copy and paste my wanted settingS?

Cut and Paste is Very Strongly discouraged of configuration settings; can cause had to diagnose problems.
No, if it does not work don't blame us; or ask for help on fixing the settings. Or on fixing any other C::B problem you have till you delete the configuration and use a standard method to update them.

Note: I am not an member of the Code::Blocks Team, but at least one other Code::Blocks forum member agrees with the above.

Many 1000's hours of developer time has been wasted when the cause was found to be the user cut and pasted settings in a configuration file. This is on all open source projects not just Code::Blocks.
