Re-installing LightBurn 1.0.06

LightBurn Software Questions
1

For some unknown reason, and having worked faultlessly for well over a year, LightBurn (1.0.06 version) couldn’t find my laser last week. I was in a hurry (these things never happen when you’ve got time) so I decided to do a complete reinstall of LightBurn, thinking that would be the fastest route to tidy everything up. But of course it’s not quick and easy to get it back to exactly how you had it setup before, especially when you have to re-calibrate the camera. So my question is… Is there a way of backing up and then reinstating all the user settings, so that a clean install or a re-install, would get you back to exactly how you were before it all went tits up?

If you do a File->Export Prefs that should encapsulate I think pretty much everything. If you needed to recover you would simply import the prefs the next time around.

Thanks for that. I wonder if the camera calibration data is stored in that preferences folder?

Yes. I checked for that. At least the calibration information:

That’s very good to know, thanks
