I've installed the latest RC 1.20 to try out. When I go back to the older viewers everything is fine except that I've lost all my Preferences. For me the UI is still the old version which I like. Which settings file should I save from old viewers so I can replace it after using Dazzle?

It is true. It is borked. I am so disgusted I think I'll let someone else do the friggin' Jira complaint.

your settings file can be found in:
C:\Documents and Settings\[your windows login name]\Application Data\SecondLife\user_settings\settings.xml

its also worth noting that you can force dazzle (or any other viewer) to create its own preferences file.
after installing dazzle, right-click>properties the desktop shortcut. look for something like "-settings settings.xml" and change it to "-settings settings_dazzle.xml" if theres nothing about settings there, add it to the end of the path, like:
G:\SecondLife\SecondLife.exe -channel "nina's client" -set SystemLanguage en-us -multiple -settings settings_dazzle.xml
once you do this dazzle will create the xml file on startup and use it rather than the regular settings file.
