Dear CodeLite users,
I'm using v4.1.5770 on Win7u/64, the downloaded with MinGW+wxWindows+allPlugins version.
Since I still prefer to use "Borland Navy Blue" color scheme, I'd like to export this settings and import it at another PC with same OS.
As well as I want to import it at the same PC on the Debian/64 LXDE (dual booted) system.
I scanned Registry and grepped the whole disk for "liteeditor.xml", *codelite*.* and so on.
But I found only "lexers/lexers_default.xml" and an empty "config/codelite.layout".
This may not be the files, right?
Next I scanned for a string of my CodeLite-MSVC settings "d:\c\MSVS2008\VC\bin;d:\c\MSVS2008\Common7\IDE;$(PATH)"
Found nowhere!
Where the heck is this stuff stored????
It must be stored somewhere, since I have different setup when I start CodeLite via "Start as Administrator".
Then, my MSVC setup is still empty and my colors are "paper white" instead of "Borland Navy Blue".
Back with Normal User Account, I have the MSVC and Borland Color Settings working fine again.
Please give me a hint, where to find or how to export/import.
Cheers,
Modem Man

user configuration should be in
%APPDATA%/Codelite (something like c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Codelite\)
%APPDATA%/Codelite (something like c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Codelite\)

The trick was: I wasn't aware of AppData\Roaming because it is hidden and I'm new to Win7.

Update:
in Version 9.x there is an "Export Syntax Highlighting Settings..." button bar on top of the "Settings | Colours and Fonts" menu.
This is very smart, you can select what to export 8or just press the "export all" button.
Cool!
used it multiple times last weeks...
