Transfering customization to a new installation
I have multiple users defined on my machine. I would like to have all accounts customized exactly the same. For that I would suggest to add the possibility of exporting to a file the customization from one account/machine and importing it to another account, possibly on a different machine.

Regards,
Meir

Hello mguttman,

How about Tools menu > Import and Export?

Please let me know if you have further questions.
Thank you!

Re: Transfering customization to a new installation
Thanks Yutaka,

Sorry, I missed it!

I looked into it and a few settings do not seem to fit another machine. And I doubt very much that they will fit even another user on the SAME machine. In particular all file paths.

How about "Import/Export with options", similar to the one you have for "Compare"? Check-boxes and text boxes that seem right are:
* file paths Check-box (with a base path text-box)
* Macros Check-box
* Keyboard shortcuts Check-box
* Display
* ... etc.

Would that be a significant effort?

Regards
Meir

Re: Transfering customization to a new installation
Opera does something like that in their ini files,
Quote:
Keyboard Configuration={SmallPreferences}keyboard\2011_Keyboard__10.6+.ini
Show Window Size=1
Local CSS File={Resources}styles\user.css

Where {SmallPreferences} (in a normal install) would be equivalent to: %UserProfile%\Application Data\"Opera Folder Name that was installed to ProgramFiles" (e.g. 'Opera 10')

or: %AppData%\"Opera Folder Name"

And {Resources} -> %ProgramFiles%\"Opera Folder Name"
