Title: Customized Editor Settings for use on two computers
Post by: SailDriver on November 15, 2015, 05:06:41 pm
Regarding Release 13.12 rev 9501 Windows 32 bit

Is it possible to carry editor settings on a memory stick between the home computer and the school computer?  This would allow the IDE to use my special settings at both places, whereas now the school computer will start up with only the default settings.

First guess on how to do it:  1) The file name and location on the home compute is needed for the editor setting and 2) by some means the school computer needs to point to the editor settings on the memory stick, or I could manually copy the setting to overwrite the same file on the school computer.  Please give me an idea.

Are you using windows or linux or mac?
for windows the settings are stored:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks
for linux it is probably somewhere in
/home/USER/.codeblocks
or
/home/USER/.config/codeblocks

for mac i don't know

you can simply overwrite the folder on your target, or you call codeblocks with the command line:
--user-data-dir=
