Current State - where is it stored on Windows

Post by HJarausch »

Hi,

I've searched all of my drive but I couldn't find where CodeLite stores
- the last Workspace used
- several 'Settings'

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

Sorry for replying to my own question. I hope it can help others.
(Only) with a special software (AstroGrep) I found out there is a

C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\AppData\Roaming\CodeLite\config

folder. An it looks as if I can use InnoSetup's {userappdata} to refer to
C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\AppData\Roaming\CodeLite

The files are kept under:

C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\AppData\Roaming\CodeLite\config

Most of the settings are kept under the file: codelite.xml
The layout: codelite.layout
Accelerator (keyboard shortcuts): accelerators.conf
compiler settings: build_settings.xml
Plugins (which to load): plugins.xml
Which session to load: sessions.xml
Your environment variables: environment_variables.xml

If any of the above files is deleted, codelite will use the default one located under (default path): C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeLite

HTH,
Eran
