How to move my settings to another cudaText app

[antony]

Hi. I have spend some time updating colors and fonts of UI and some lexers. I have another computer with cudaText and I would like to simply transfer my setup (theme and lexer settings and plugins) to this computer. How can I accomplish this?

Since CudaText is fully portable, you just copy the entire folder to another Windows machine, and you're good to go.

If you already have Cuda up and running on the target machine for some time, I would not immediately replace everything, but rather rename the existing Cuda folder and keep it for reference, just in case there is something you need but were not aware of.

If drive letters (C:, D:) and paths are different on both machines, you may have to "rewire" some settings. Unless your setup uses relative/portable placeholders like {AppDrive}. Many plugins (Backup File, External Tools) have them. Read their help.

You need to copy:
- 'settings' and 'settings_default' folders
- all new data from 'data' folder
- all new dirs from 'py' folder

I copy 4 folders: 'settings', 'settings_default', 'data', 'py', then use 'Plugin' -> 'Addons Manager' -> 'Update'.

Because I am not sure which are new data in the folders.
Luckily, it works well currently.
