Backup plugins and their settings
-
Hi,
what would be the easiest way to achieve this? I noticed there are plugin files in Program FIles and some configs in Roaming, not sure about other locations. Is there any plugin to get all?
-
The plugin and any libraries and accouterments go in the install directory. The plugin settings (and sometimes other per-user files for the plugin) go in
%AppData%hierarchy (or “Roaming” as you call it) -
@PeterJones yea, that’s pretty much what I wrote in initial post (except some plugins have settings in install dir), so no other way of backing them up?
Also, another question I forgot to type, is copying the files sufficient? Or does Npp keep some info about installed plugins in some db, registry or wherever?

Just copying the files is a fine method.

No.

I was confirming that your description was close enough, and thus trying to imply that thus all you had to do to back up a plugin was back up those two directories. I am sorry that my implication was not clear.
