Title: Copy thumbnail panel colors for other user
Post by: heicron on February 13, 2016, 11:30:39 PM
Greetings,

I have been upgrading my computers to Windows 10 with clean installs which required reinstalling my programs. Since IMatch 5.5 I have been setting up my main computer to my visual preferences. I would like to have the same setting for the colors of the file window thumbnail panel for another user account on another computer. I see that these settings are stored within the application pts file. I have been through the help files and searched the forum but have not been able to find how to copy those settings to another user.
Is this something I have to reconfigure for each machine seperately?

Thanks

If you want to copy the file layout search for 'layout' in the Help. In the Layout Editor, you export and import different layouts.

I read through that in help but it did not copy the color layout.

Thanks,

User interface colors are stored per-user, they are not part to a specific file window layout. Hence they cannot be not included in the file window layout export file.

Can I copy that setting from one computer to another or must I manually configure  each computer?

See Traveling with IMatch in the IMatch help for information about using IMatch on multiple computers, how to copy settings between computers, the user name Alias feature and the Pack & Go utility which may save you some time.
