K-Meleon Web Browser Forum
I just bought a new laptop computer. Right now I have K-Meleon on my desktop. I installed K-Meleon on the laptop.
Is there anyway I can just copy a file or settings from the desktop over to the laptop? It would be a bit easier (OK I'm just lazy
) than going through the settings and manually choosing.
I don't see an INI file so I'm not sure if it's done through the registry. I don't like to mess with that at all.
Just if there's a quick way to do it.
Thanks
1.) copy %apdata%/k-Meleon/Profiles to the equivalent location on the new PC.
Else copy ./Program Files/K-Meleon/Profiles/ & profile.ini...
K-Meleon Profiles with default settings are fully portable.
But there are two default location depending on what You chose during setup.
2.) So am I.
Find out what setup and locations You have. Compare with 1.) and do it.
I need to know setup details to answer more precise.
3.) Yes, like dega2 says.

If one is the only user of a computer, the easiest way is to keep the profiles inside the KM program folder, instead of in appdata, then it's possible to just copy/paste the whole folder to another computer and you're done
The difference is that a profile (with private bookmarks, history etc.) in appdata can usually only be seen by the owner of that folder, while a profile inside the program folder can be seen and used by other users too, depending on where the program is stored. E.g. if it's stored in the personal files folder the whole thing (program+profile) would be private too, because permissions are inherited from "above". If I got that right..
