Where are Ghidra's user settings stored (on Windows)?

[RubisetCie]

Hello everyone, sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm confused: for every program I use, I like to tinker with the settings and usually exporting them to a file or collection of files, for quicker setup on each of my machines.

When I go to "Edit > Tool Options" for the Code Browser for example, I edit the "Listing Display > Font"; and I'm noticing the settings/preferences are well saved and persistent; good.

My question is: in which file/directory are these settings stored on the filesystem? On Windows at least, I haven't managed to find them in %AppData%/Roaming/ghidra nor on the installation directory, nor in the registry... 🤔

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Changing the listing display font results in a new theme getting created. It should be in your users settings directory (i.e., %AppData%/Roaming/ghidra/ghidra_<version>/themes/*.theme.

To verify the location of your user settings directory, open up the Ghidra Front End GUI and do Help -> Runtime Information -> Application Layout -> Settings Directory.

Thank you for your answer. :)
It's odd that I don't have a "themes" directory in %AppData%/Roaming/ghidra/ghidra_<version>, but now that I know the fonts are part of the theme, I figured out I can export it directly.

How about the other regular user settings of the code browser? Would there be a way to easily export/import them from/to Ghidra?

You can export tools a couple of differnt ways, like right clicking on the icon in the Tool Chest, or File -> Export in the tool. You can import them in the Front End with Tools -> Import
