Well, according to the docs, the preferences folder is within the app. Therefore, when replacing the app, (which is a folder) the entire contents of the app would be expected to be replaced.
To anyone who has been using a Mac since they came out and knows how folders work, this is the expected behaviour.
Nothing I have read has told me otherwise.
Why would an app's contents be preserved on a fresh install?
And if they would be preserved on a fresh install, where is this documented so that we know where to find information like this.
Thanks man.
