Settings for export

Post by beethoven »

Every few years when migrating to a new pc, I take along my trusted xyplorer. While I don't use all the features and settings, I like the look and feel of my current set-up, some of it was configured to my liking. Is there any function somewhere to export the config, so that the new setup looks exactly as before? I can manually do it assuming I can remember where I made changes but if there is simple way of doing it, I would appreciate that.

Highend, thank you - do you mean the whole folder structure under C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer

sorry, I don't want to mess it up. Do I first delete the existing folder that was set up from the installation of the program earlier today ? I notice it's called Xyplorer64 instead of Xyplorer

If you mean C:\Users\[me]\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer64, that's not created by the installation itself but when first opening the program. If it does not exist, you are prompted to copy your old 32-bit installation data to that location. So you don't have to do the copying manually.
So, if C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer64 already exists, you should delete it, then run the 64-bit XYplorer, and the above should happen.

PS: But copying the data manually from C:\Users\[me]\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer to C:\Users\[me]\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer64 is just as fine.
