Transferring We Settings to another PC
I like keeping my WE settings on my PCs uniform as possible; if I decide to change something, I prefer, if possible, to make those changes on my other PCs. Are there specific files, if I coped them from one pc to another, that will do this for me? If so, which files? And has someone written an app/utility to assist with this?

RE: Transferring We Settings to another PC
Hi Mike, In my humble opinion, transferring settings is overly complicated, even for global settings.

RE: Transferring We Settings to another PC
Rod That's why I ask the question. There have to be key files in doing this as that's where the settings reside. I have certain defined hotkeys, pagemarkers, settings which might take me hours not only to reconstruct but also to figure where some of those settings and hotkeys are defined. In the old WE days, when everything was in a single directory, this was easy to do. So that's why I raise the question. n ___ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.

Re: Transferring We Settings to another PC
I think that practically everything you would need is in the directory you open when you do Files, Explore Profile. I would probably copy that entire folder, and then on the new computer update as necessary. But I didn't read all of the messages leading up to this one.

Re: Transferring We Settings to another PC
Thanks Lloyd and Netbat! That seems to be the consensus answer; and it also makes sense. ___ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.

RE: Transferring We Settings to another PC
This sounds like a great opportunity for a WE enhancement. Perhaps an Export Settings and Import Settings could be added by AI Squared in a future release. A dialog could be presented where one could check which settings could be chosen to export or import.
