On your desktop copy, be sure you have clicked "Save ALL current settings as User-Defaults" (under Options -> Customize -> Options for Default Settings).
Then copy all the .usr files in your My Documents/Legacy Family Tree/_AppData/usr to the matching directory on your lapton. Then in Legacy on the laptop, Options - Customize -> Options for Default Settings -> Reset to User-Defaults. -----Original Message----- From: Robert57P_gmail [mailto:robert...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, January 06, 2014 12:53 AM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Subject: [LegacyUG] Cloning settings to 2nd computer Once I have version 8 "tweaked" how I like it on my desktop PC, what files to I need to copy to my laptop to have those same "tweaks" in place? Also - in the CUSTOMIZE box, there are several settings with "gbl". I'm assuming they are GLOBAL. That is, those settings are in effect no matter what family file I open, correct? And some of the settings have "ff" - I'm guessing those are specific to the family file I have opened (correct?). But what in the heck does "ff" stand for? Instead of saying "gbl" and "ff", why not just spell them out? Thanks again for a great upgrade. Lots of nice new features. Sorry for the multiple questions today. (And, yes, I have tried to find the answers in the manual.)
