Zugg Software :: View topic - [3.34] Transferring .pkg files does not preserve 'preferences'

I currently travel a bit and use different computers at the home, office, and on the road. I originally tried having the 'live' directory for the .pkg etc files to be in a shared folder via the Dropbox program. Dropbox locks the files to do indexes/updating I believe, so there were some access issues and delays. I now have each installation save to a local directory and on quitting it runs a simple python script to copy the local .pkg to the update the one in the shared version. When I execute cmud, I use a batch script to just copy the updated .pkg from the shared directory to the local one before running cmud. The code is updated however all the 'preferences' revert to the default. This includes little things like timestamps, session colors, etc. I thought I wasn't saving the .pkg correctly or updating before cmud loaded, but the code is updated. I also checked the backups with the same effect. In the preferences I made sure to save my designed settings as the default and reloaded to verify.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

Default Preferences are stored in a different file. I think this includes any global preferences, which you can easily see when you choose the Bold Global Options item from the dropdown list.

I don't recall the name offhand, but I think it may be cmud.ini (or .cfg or whatever it is now).

Any changes to default settings are saved in default.pkg
