Migrate Filebot settings - Windows Store App

[vergs]

How may I migrate my settings from my old Windows 10 PC to my new Windows 10 PC? I still have access to the old PC.

I tried copying the folder "Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\PointPlanck.FileBot_randomstring

...but that didn't seem to work

1.
You can backup / import / export settings using filebot -script fn:preferences commands:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4205

This does not include the history file. The history can be imported / exported with the import / export buttons in the History dialog.


2.
Due to Windows Store app sandboxing, the FileBot app data folder is implicitly redirected to this folder:

Code: Select all

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\PointPlanck.FileBot_*\LocalCache\Roaming\FileBot

Copying the files here should work, but there might be some Windows Store sandboxing magic, that makes things not work as expected.

Thanks @rednoah

The export/import worked though whilst preforming the import I did get WARNINGS, see below;

Code: Select all

Those warnings can be ignored. Java 10 and Groovy just aren't best friends yet.
