Moving MatterControl AppData files a new Windows computer



  • I am about to move MatterControl with all its settings, data and history to a new Windows computer. Is it as easy as installing MatterControl onto the new computer and move all files from the old AppData folder into the AppData folder of the new computer?

    Thinking one step further, is it possible to share MatterControl files and data between computers via a file synchronization service like Dropbox?



  • I've used this trick for moving computers and can confirm it works. Not sure about Dropbox since you'd need to be able to setup AppData to sync and then deal with file conflicts.

    Yes, it is.

    I see no reason this wouldn't work, but have not tested.
