The launcher update has wiped everything: chat windows, graphics settings, shortcuts, overview - you name it, it's gone.

It's probably utterly pointless to ask, but is there any way to get those settings back?

Turns out the fix, for some reason, is to restart the launcher and go from there.

Had same thing, turns out that the name of the folder with settings in "%localappdata%\CCP\EVE\" was changed
ie. for me it used to be "d_gry_eve_online_tranquility"
but now it's using "d_gry_eveonl~1_tranquility"
previous folder was still there so renaming it to the new name restored settings.

Could be related to having multiple EVE installations?
