Title: Location of Code::Blocks environment settings:
Post by: MikeyGold on June 04, 2013, 05:41:28 am

I installed Code::Blocks 12.11 on Ubuntu 13.04 (great job on new Code::Blocks release!). Having a lot of problems with stability on the new Ubuntu release (especially the Kubuntu desktop). So I'm going to reformat my partition and do a clean install, going back to 12.04 LTS.

Meanwhile, I spent a lot of time setting up Code::Blocks the way I like it. Would like to know what directories and files hold the Code::Blocks environment and editor settings etc, so I can copy them back after I do a clean install and then install Code::Blocks again.

Thanks
MNG

Try looking for default.conf under your home folder location.
This is a Guess from a Windows user.

Save ~/.codeblocks to a side and then later copy back the defaulf.conf file using cb_share_config...
