Saving custom configuration[Solved]

[Ten_Mile_Hike]

After buying a new computer or after reinstalling Windows (~2-3 times a year between the two) I
always spend about 10 minutes changing the options of the source editor (font, background color,
user defined colors etc...). Although this process is not overly taxing, is there a configuration file/ files
that I could do to back up to the cloud then simply download it to simplify the process?

Sure. The only question is where it's stored. It's platform-specific.

The file you're looking for is editoroptions.xml. Windows seems to put them in a \User\username/ directory. Linux put's them in a /home/username/.lazarus/. An install  using fpcupdeluxe puts in a ./config_lazarus/ directory.

Be warned that changes between lazarus versions may mean that the old .xml file is no longer fully compatible with the new format.

I think you're interested in the "editoroptions.xml" file in the configuration folder. You can see the path in "Menu > View > IDE Internals > About IDE", line "Primary config directory=".

While it's highly likely to work, there's no guarantee that this file will be portable or compatible between versions.

Edited: Yes, I saw that while I was writing my reply, someone had already replied to you. I was too lazy to rewrite it ))

Thank you both.
