Importing external tools settings

[madde001]

Hi,
When I upgraded to 12, I lost a bunch of customizations that I had done to my External Tools settings.
Is there a particular prefs or settings file that I can grab from an old installation to move settings across, without having to manually re-enter?
I'm on OS X, btw.

Hello,

The options are imported automatically from the previous found version. But if this fails for some reason you can manually import the options from the old version(Options -> Import Global Options).

Depending on the platform the options folder is located as follows:
- Windows XP - [user-home-folder]\Application Data\com.oxygenxml
- Windows Vista/7 - [user-home-folder]\AppData\Roaming\com.oxygenxml
- Mac OS X - [user-home-folder]/Library/Preferences/com.oxygenxml
- Linux - [user-home-folder]/.com.oxygenxml
The options files for Oxygen XML Editor are named like this:
oxyOptionsSa11.2.xml (where 11.2 is the version).

If you are using Oxygen XML Author add ".author" to the name of these folders.
e.g. [user-home-folder]\Application Data\com.oxygenxml.author

For the Oxygen XML Author the options files look like this:
oxyAuthorOptionsSa11.2.xml (where 11.2 is the version).

So, simply locate the options file of the old version depending on your platform(as described above) and import it in the new version.

Adrian
