Does copying user.dat and Tables folder from v24 to v25 still work?

For several versions it's been possible to move the user.dat and Tables folder into the newest version to preserve screens and views that one customized.

From screens I've seen of the GUI this looks like it would still work going v24 to v25. Anyone tried it and know for sure?

Getting game from Steam Friday and want to have these files ready if copying them in still works.

Thanks.

Yes, for the most part

Awesome. Views take time to do, but are easy to rebuild if something changed.

Customizing screens, getting the right size box in the right location, can be like putting a moving jigsaw puzzle together.

Thanks.

Exactly the same as previous versions. Copy your tables folder and user.dat over.
