Title: Location of configuration files
Post by: Elwin on January 01, 2008, 10:23:15 pm

Recently I've started tinkering with freshly discovered Code Blocks and it's absolutely awesome. However, in a few months I'm going to migrate to another system, and I'd like to be able to take the finely tuned IDE with me. Which files should I save in order to retain customized Syntax Highlighting and Editor options for later installs?

Hi Elwin,

under windows the CB configuration files are stored in

Code

Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\codeblocks

under linux the .codeblocks directory in your home directory.

See http://codeblocks.org/docs/main_codeblocks_ench1.html#x2-150001.10.4 for some information how to make a portable version of CB or search within the CB forums.

My bad for not mentioning the OS used.

Thanks a lot, that surely helps.
