[GPlates-discuss] Transferring existing Gplates settings when installing new versions

[Eglington, Bruce]

Hi
  Found it, saved the registry keys to a file on the drive, then imported after installing and everything worked fine. Only thing to remember is one needs to restart the computer after uninstall/install to clear the old key values and see the new ones.

Gplates 2 - really nice to be able to remember ones settings, including for symbology. Maybe you can add to remember things like background colour, graticule colours, etc too in a future release. Congratulations to the team who made all the improvements!

Cheers
   Bruce

Hi Bruce,

You're probably wanting to transfer preference settings, as opposed to a project or recent session, to another Windows computer.

I've not actually tried this myself, but have a look around in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/GPlates. But note that the recent sessions are also stored in there. I'm currently away from work, but will get back in a few days with more info.

Regards,
John

Hi
  Is it possible to transfer the GPlates settings, presumably as stored in Windows registry for use with new installations of GPlates? If so, what are the registry keys one needs to preserve?
