Title: Copying general settings to another machine
Post by: sparhawk on January 09, 2014, 02:19:48 pm

I found this thread http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=2419.0;prev_next=prev which explains how to backup the settings, so I can simply copy over that file or does it somehow have a connection to the installed machine (I assume not)?

If I just copy the file, then I would have to adjust paths on the other machine (possibly other stuff as well?), so is it possible to only export certain aspects of the settings?

Look at using "cb_share_config" an separate program from CB exe to share settings.
(should be located in the CB exe folder.)

Note: it is best to backup the settings till you figure out what is safe to copy.

I have NOT used  cb_share_config in the last few years.

Thanks for the answer.  I haven't tried this program, but I found another way for this particular problem. After looking in that folder {user}\AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks I noticed that there is a file cbKeyBinder10.ini. Copying this file gives me only the bindings that I configured without changing anything else.
