Moving user settings

[Dwayne]

I know this should be simple, but I still can't get this working. I simply want to move my user settings from one machine to a new workstation, and can't find the right files.

I found this thread:http://www.allroundautomations.com/...umber=34841&Searchpage=4&Main=9240&Words=move+settings&Search=true#Post34841

but doing this did not seem to work. To make sure I was looking at the right directories I tried modifying a setting and still can't find the file that it's changing.

Any help appreciated.

Your preferences are stored here:

C:\util\PLSQL Developer\Preferences\Administrator\default.ini
C:\util\PLSQL Developer\Preferences\Administrator\user.prefs

You can copy these files to the %APPDATA%\PLSQL Developer\Preferences\ directory on Windows 7 (for example: C:\Users\Dwayne\AppData\Roaming\PLSQL Developer\Preferences\Dwayne).

You can additionally copy some settings by exporting and importing the following registry section with regedit.exe:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Allround Automations\PL/SQL Developer

Thanks for your help Marco. That was indeed the problem (different path on Win7)
