Sync/backup preferences

Post by canab » Thu Oct 01, 2015 7:58 am

Add ability to set folder where Files stores it's preferences.
It will allow to backup/restore, sync and share user preferences.

p.s. Thanks for the most efficient file manager for OSX.

Hello canab and welcome to the forum!

I have such plans and will gradually move different settings to config files instead of OSX's UserDefaults (where most of settings are currently stored).
In fact one thing was already moved into ~/Library/Application Support/Files/Config - it's a hotkeys layout overrides.
Eventually every setting will be placed there and then it will be possible to change this default config path.

Mike.
