Press the F5 key to open the Debug Console and then click on

Application Data to Import / Export your User Data.

View preferences:

Export preferences:

Shell: Select all

filebot -script fn:preferences --output /path/to/folder

Import preferences:

filebot -script fn:preferences /path/to/preferences.xml

Your current preferences are stored in a platform-dependent manner (e.g. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Prefs on Windows; data/settings.properties if portable, ~/Library/Preferences on macOS; ~/.java/.userPrefs on Debian Linux; etc) and a backup of your settings is exported as preferences.backup.xml into the application data folder every 30 days.
