Settings backup for each account?

Moving to a new phone.

I see an option to back up accounts database, and I see an option to back up settings.

Does Thunder apply distinct settings for each account? If so, do I have to switch to each account and back up those settings I order to restore functionality for each?

As far as I can tell, you're settings are your settings, not per-account, and the database backup contains all of your accounts. You need both backups: settings and db.

Edit: I just verified that settings are for the app, not per account.

Thank you. I backed up both and I'm back up and running!

Hey there! Just wanted to clarify the differences between the database and settings backup.

The database contains data related to your accounts, favourites, drafts, and user labels. The settings backup contains all of your current Thunder settings. As others have mentioned, settings are global, not on a per-account basis. Hope that clears things up!

It does, thank you. Thanks for the great work!
