When I do a Klipper update my menu.cfg gets overwritten. I have to copy my backup and paste it into the extras folder. Am I doing something wrong or do I just have to live with the inconvenience? Thanks logs-202366-101425.zip (507.1 KB)

I use the complete menu.cfg file. Thanks

Hmm, seems a thing where Klipper could do better. Ping @koconnor
