Export FM Settings

[Roger Shuttleworth]

Hi Alison

For what it's worth, workspace definitions are stored in your user folder (typically C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\9\WorkSpaces\Structured (or UnStructured). I'd guess you could copy those files and replace them in the same position on your new machine.

Hope this helps.

Roger

Subject: Export FM Settings

                        
    

FM 9 Version:  9.0p255    

Unstructured    

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate,  64 bit    

FM Experience:  2+years    

     

     

     

I  received a new computer this year which has been a real pain and is about to go  back to the "shop" to try and find out why I get multiple "black  screens of death" every time I boot. I am getting another new computer as  a replacement which will be mine to keep (my "old-new" computer will  be given to another employee once the kinks are worked out).    

     

However,  this means I have to reconfigure a new system with all the pain that entails.     

     

In  the interest of speeding up the process, I am wondering whether there is some  way – in addition to copying over the maker.ini file – that I can export  FM settings from one computer in order to import them into FM9 on the one.     

     

I'm specifically  thinking of my personalized Workspace, but if there are any other things that  can be exported/imported, I would love a list as well as where to find them or  how to export them.    

     

Also,  if anyone has any tips for doing the same thing with other Adobe programs  (Acrobat 9, Illustrator 15.0.2) I'd love that information as well.    

     

Any  help would be appreciated.
