Where does CodeBlocks keep its settings?
« on: August 29, 2006, 09:15:18 am »
I am trying to find where CodeBlocks keeps its settings, such as the environments compiler and linker directories, because I want to back them up before I reinstall my system. I have CodeBlocks installed on a separate drive, but apparently that is not where these settings are kept.

On linux... as far as I know its under ~/.codeblocks
On windows I think its under: Document & settings\<your user>\Application data\codeblocks
Tell me a bug and I 'll tell you two  :twisted:

WindowsXP:
C:\Documents and Settings\"YourUserName"\Application Data\codeblocks
Linux:
/home/"YourUserName"/.codeblocks

I think you just simply backup the codeblocks folder is OK.

Universally on Windows is just %AppData%\codeblocks.

Thanks you all. I forgot to add 'on Windows', but I got my answer anyway :-)

Mac OS X will also use ~/.codeblocks, same as Linux

For instance: /Users/afb/.codeblocks, in my case...
