Summary of the new feature/enhancement

I'd like to be able to share a saved FancyZone layout using a file, maybe adding a share as a file button on the app.
The file should be a JSON, or XML (but please, a JSON) including the resolution of the screen and all the details of the zone (dimension and position).

FancyZones zonesets are now saved to a json file, making possible to implement the "share" feature.

Can you share the location where this json file is stored? Per #734, we'd like to be able to back this file up for PC upgrades, and for distribution to other workstations with similar workflows.

Added the documentation label: add the zones-settings.json location to the FancyZones README.

@pressRtowin @saubermfg you can find layout settings here \AppData\Local\Microsoft\PowerToys\FancyZones\zones-settings.json.

@dedavis6797 can we add the zones-settings.json location to the docs as Enrico mentioned earlier?

@dedavis6797 can we add the zones-settings.json location to the docs as Enrico mentioned earlier?

Should we stick to this file, because it is the one that is requested the most, or make a complete list of all the setting files? And what is the best place to put such a list?

Yes, I'll put this in the docs.

@enricogior @dedavis6797 I added a [!tip] on the FancyZones page in my pr. Is that enough?

Resolved, thanks @Jay-o-Way.

0.47 Release automation moved this from To do to Done Nov 15, 2021

I believe the appropriate file is no-longer named zone-settings.json, it now appears to be named custom-layouts.json.
