How do I copy preferences from a previous version?

Post by pablo »

Each version of Quick 'n Easy Web Builder has its own configuration and publish settings.
However you can copy settings from another version.

Warning: This requires some system knowledge!
Do not copy binary data from the configuration file to the new version because this may corrupt the configuration!


LINUX
Linux stores preferences in a (hidden) file:
/home/yourname/.Quick 'n Easy Web Builder 11
(note that this file is hidden so you will need to make it visible first)

MACOS
Mac stores preferences in:
/User/Library/Application Support/Quick 'n Easy Web Builder 11/Quick 'n Easy Web Builder 11 Preferences
for the Apple App Store version (sandboxed) the system uses:
/User/Library/Containers/com.pablosoftwaresolutions.quickandeasywebbuilder11/Data/Library/Application Support/Quick 'n Easy Web Builder 11/Quick 'n Easy Web Builder 11 Preferences

WINDOWS
Windows store preferences in the registry (regedit)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Pablo Software Solutions\Quick 'n Easy Web Builder 11

For older versions you will need to replace the '11' with the application's version number.

If you only need the publish settings then copy the following sections:

Code: Select all

[PublishLocations]
Count=2
[PublishLocation0]
... options ...
[PublishLocation1]
... options ...
etc
