3214 lost my settings

After installing build 3214 (by removing my last install's lib and plugins directory and then unzipping 3214 over it) I noticed my configuration settings like (color-scheme, code style etc.) had disappeared.

Upon further inspection, it turned out that the cause of this was that my settings are now kept in ~/.IntelliJIdea, whereas I had previously installed IDEA to store its settings in the IDEA folder itself.

Is keeping your settings in the IDEA folder no longer supported?

I wouldn't recommend this. Unzip to a new directory, copy relevant bits
across (like idea.properties).

I believe you can just edit idea.properties in the bin directory to
change where your settings are stored.
