https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393516 --- Comment #7 from Boudewijn Rempt --- Anyway, while the FAQ page was right, the preferences manual page was wrong, and I've updated that just now. Maybe it'll spare other people months of confusion. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393516 --- Comment #6 from Kenneth Evans --- Forget that Explorer can't find it. Forget whether it should be Local or Roaming. It is not where the manual says it is (and it is not where you would expect). I was not able to find it for months. I agree that if fixed, new versions could be made to search possible old places if not found and put it where it belongs.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393516 --- Comment #5 from jjurkus --- (In reply to Kenneth Evans from comment #3) > (For some reason I did not find it searching all of AppData for "kritarc". in > Windows Explorer.) Windows explorer is hideously bad for searching files. Try Total Commander. I can't live without it. Or try something like Explorer++ Why? I'm not sure windows explorer searches in directories with the hidden attribute set. > Krita’s preferences are saved in the file kritarc. This file is located in > C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\krita on Windows. There is probably some microsoft documentation about the differences between local and roaming. Roaming is where you put user settings, that should be maintained between different computers. (Of course nobody used roaming profiles because they never worked properly, but you could have folder redirection or a 3rd party solution) I think Krita should check in both locations and save it in the new location, but I'm no programmer, and can only report what I see. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393516 Kenneth Evans changed: What|Removed |Added CC||k...@kenevans.net --- Comment #3 from Kenneth Evans --- I have been looking for the kritarc file for months. The manual says: Krita’s preferences are saved in the file kritarc. This file is located in C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\krita on Windows. It is not there. I was getting ready to submit a bug, and came across this issue. It is apparently in C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local, not where the manual says. Who would know? (For some reason I did not find it searching all of AppData for "kritrc". in Windows Explorer.) I agree that is not where it "should" be stored. It should be stored in something application-specific (like where the manual says it is stored). It looks like you should either change it or change the documentation. Thanks. Note: This is under frameworks-kconfig. I don't know what this is. It is happening in Krita 4.1 for me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
