GoFiler's Application Settings, which are set using the Preferences button on the File Ribbon, can be copied or moved from one computer to another computer. It is recommended that this action be performed by someone familiar with your network and computer set-up. Users unfamiliar with Windows User Accounts may have difficulty finding the correct directories.
To copy your settings:
- Go to the user's application data directory. This can be found using the environment string "%AppData%" using the Windows Run command.
- There is a folder called "Novaworks" in this directory. The Novaworks folder contains all of GoFiler's settings. Browse this folder.
- Find GoFiler Settings.ini and GoFiler.ini. These files respectively store the options set using the Preferences function and the options that determine the file history list and application appearance. If you prefer only to copy the application settings, copy just GoFiler Settings.ini. Also note that these files will be named using the actual name of your software. For example, GoFiler Settings.ini refers to the settings file for GoFiler. GoFiler Complete Settings.ini would be the name of the settings file for GoFiler Complete.
- Copy these files to the same folder on a different computer or under a different user.
Again, if you cannot find your settings files, contact an IT professional at your company or firm for help in locating the user application data and Novaworks folders.
