Yes, the XML that keeps track of the settings is never touched when the IMDb+ plugin updates the IMDb+ scraper-script. But on a fresh install you are back to default settings. The main bug that still exists, and have not been able to reproduce it consistently to attempt to fix it, is that in some situations a MovPic update will cause MovPic to point to a wrong entry in the <scripts> table and use an older/incorrect version of the IMDb+ scraper-script, in some cases one that has not been adjusted correctly to use the correct XML settings file, causing it to revert to incorrect default settings. It is however easy to fix manually, and it is also easy to verify if that is the case for you by checking what version of IMDb+ scraper-script IMDb+ plugin or MovPic reports as being used (and ensure it matches the latest version as specified in the Google Code changelog/tracker, or the MePo forum thread title).
