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;

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