Have settings transferable across devices

Post by 3ccentricity »

Hi,

I use XYplorer for the files on my external hardrive but when I open the hardrive on another computer the layout, settings and other things are not carried over. Is there anyway I can make it carry over?

Install the Portable version on a USB flash/thumb drive and run XY from that when using another PC.

Would I be able to carry over my current settings onto the portable version or would i have to set it up how i want from scratch?

Use the files/folders from the path that's defined in the Startup.ini file (it's in the XY installation folder) and put it under the Data folder of your portable version...
