C::B configuration corruption

(1/1)

DarkHorizon:
Hi all,

Occasionally, for whatever reason, when I attempt to start C::B (Linux), I'll get notification that the application is already started (though nothing appears in ps aux | grep codeblocks). After a reboot, the application launches but with default configuration, as though my IDE configuration has been erased.

I'm not sure why this is happening, and there's a good chance it's something b0rked on my own PC, so I'm wondering if there are certain files in ~/.codeblocks I can back up and then later restore to retain my configuration (dev file paths, color scheme, etc) to avoid having to reconfigure everything in the event it occurs again.

Best regards,
- DH

Sure, under Linux they should be in $HOME/.codeblocks. For your config, backup all *.conf and *.ini (if there are such). BTW: You can use cb_share_config to transfer the most important settings to another PC/configuration file.
With regards, Morten.

DarkHorizon:
Thanks! I will try this.
