Export CopyQ settings in Windows OS

[online]

Hello!

Can you, please, tell me how to export all settings of CopyQ and import them on another computer?

If you use installed version of CopyQ, you can export/import registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\copyq".

If you use portable (zip) version, you can backup "config" directory in application folder.

There is old task for improving import/export to include options, themes, commands etc. (#42) -- I didn't have time nor the will to implement that yet.

@hluk, Thanks for your reply. I hope that in the future will be implemented functionality that allows to export / import settings.

What about Mac? I think you should add the config file to https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/wiki/Backup

@reagle More up-to-date documentation is at http://copyq.readthedocs.io. (Perhaps I should finally remove the wiki on github.)

Do you thing you can update it? Source file for the Backup section is here.

Does the command to copy configuration path work correctly on OS X?

I'd remove the wiki for sake of clarity.

I don't know where copyq keeps its config. I only see log files in ~/Library/Application Support/CopyQ/.

In the GUI, I can export to a cpq file. From the terminal, I'd expect the command to generate the file test.cpq, but it does not. It returns "false."

╭─reagle@wor ~
╰─➤  copyq exportData test
false

Oh, looks like there are few issues with importData and exportData (incorrect relative path interpretation and missing documentation). I'm fixing that.

For now you need to use absolute file path.

copyq exportData ~/test.cpq

You can print the configuration path with copyq info config.

Confirmed and confirmed, thanks!
