transfering files to new computer

[cista]

I'm getting a new computer and wondered if there was an easy, non geeky way to transfer my profiles to the new computer so I dont need to start all my triggers, alias's etc again.

Must be easy because i'm a hopelessly ungeeky!

There certainly is. On your old computer, open your scripts (or aliases or triggers or whatever) and click the "Save Profile As" button. That will create an XML file with all of your stuff in it. Put that file on your new computer, then open up scripts and click "Import" and select that file. All your stuff will be there.

It's actually suggested that you copy your entire profile directory as that will retain settings.

For Windows, this will be: C:\Users\<username>\.config\Mudlet\<profile name>

Fair suggestion, though locations vary by OS. And if you are switching OSes, don't bother.

You can actually copy the profile folder straight over and it simply will just work.

Of course, get your paths right!

Wow thanks guys! and writen in a way I can understand

Hmmm...had a look. How do I copy the profile folder? I can't even find it!

[demonnic]

if you make an alias with the following code:

display(getMudletHomeDir())

it will show you where the folder for the current profile is. You can copy just that directory, or if you want to keep all your profiles you can copy the entire mudlet/profiles directory over.
