Backup of settings
I just transferred my settings from Far2 to Far3 which took some time - but I succeeded. Now I wonder if there is any possibility to backup these settings in a readable way other than the DB. In Far2 there was this script exporting the settings from the registry into plain text. Is there something like that for Far3, too?

Re: Backup of settings
Mostly by hand. There was a perl/python script somewhere but that didn't work well, because it left out most of the option I was interested in. So I had two Far (Far2/Far3) in parallel and walked through the settings... annoying but it was worth it - Far3 is so much improved.mrQQ wrote:how did you transfer them?

Indeed, I would even expect the developers of Far 3 to provide a tool to migrate Far 2 settings as completely as possible. I changed so much in the last years of using Far 2, and was taken aback that I had to start over from the defaults.
