How to preserve my settings on Ubuntu?

(1/2) > >>

Hello,

I am using some custom editor settings such as colors, and custom shortcuts, what is the file that codeblocks keeps those settings in?

I'd like to save that file so I can easily restore those settings next time I reinstall Ubuntu.

THX!

Watch out for a file named default.conf, usually located in your HOME directory in the sub-folder .codeblocks.

Notice you can use cb_share_config tool to save / transfer some settings (not all).

Thank you for the reply.

In the folder I found cbKeyBinder10.ini which was correctly last modified today, it contains my shortcuts.

Unfortunately, default.conf was modified on May 15, that's when I installed codeblocks. I am afraid it does not contain my color settings.

I did search on all files that were modified on 2011-05-30 but I got 10K+ files, I do not think I can find the right one among them.

Is there any other config file that codeblocks uses to save color settings? I made the changes directly to default scheme.

Thanks again!

No. However, if you installed a portable version it might also be in the application folder. Hence it will always be called "default.conf" which you can search for.

That was correct default.config. The file was updated only after I closed codeblocks. Weird. I would expect the changes to be populated as soon as I click Ok on config editor dialog box.

Anyways, thank you for your help!
