questions about config backup and versions

Post by DerellLicht1 »

I've been making a backup of c:\Users\<username>\Appdata\roaming\RJ TextEd folder tree, in a zip file, to use when installing on a new computer... I just used this backup on my laptop when I installed texted there, and it appears to have worked fine; all my custom configurations showed up perfectly... I just had to re-size the editor because the laptop screen is far smaller than my desktop screen ( :) )... no problem...

I'm just wanted to verify something... will this backup process work reliably even across version changes?? Is there anything version-dependent in the config files??

As long as you only copy newer files - you should be fine. But you should never copy the "c:\Users\<username>\Appdata\roaming\RJ TextEd\Version.ini" file.
