Aaah yes, this is an annoying problem with the installer that it doesn’t let you overwrite a previous installation (that uses Izpack 1) with one built with Izpack 5. But your settings are not installed in this folder anyway (they are stored in (C:\Users\username\Jaikoz) so if you install Jaikoz 5 to a different location OR manually delete the existing Jaikoz installation and then install Jaikoz you will still keep your settings.
replace the forward slash when naming but keep the tag

I understand that there is a Jaikoz folder with userdata in the, well, Userdata folder, but I saw some files with setting in the name in the Jaikoz folder under “Program Files (x86)” folder so thought I’d check.
When you say manually delete the existing Jaikoz installation, do you mean delete that Jaikoz folder in the “Program Files (x86)” folder or just the Jaikoz.exe INSIDE that folder?
Delete the Jaikoz folder.
Success! It appears to work. I loaded up the dreaded AC_DC folder, changed all the artists/albumartists to AC/DC and corrected folder and filename from metadata and…drumroll please…nothing changed. Which at first was disappointing til I realized that’s what was supposed to happen (since the filenames and folders already had AC_DC and not AC/DC).
Thanks for implementing the change Paul! Now i just need to get out of this rut of compulsively changing my renaming masks. DAMN YOU FILE CHARACTER LIMITS!
