Settings Storage

SnapIt now uses SQLite to store settings and layouts instead of JSON files. The database file (SnapItSettings.db) is stored in %LocalApplicationData%\SnapIt\.

Automatic Migration

If you're upgrading from a previous version that used JSON files:

• Your existing settings will be automatically migrated to the SQLite database on first run
• The original JSON files will remain untouched for backward compatibility
• No manual intervention is required

Benefits of SQLite Storage

• Improved performance for read/write operations
• Better data integrity with ACID transactions
• Reduced file I/O overhead
• Easier backup (single database file instead of multiple JSON files)
