Where are settings stored? Ex+Import settings into another Deluge installation?

Post by pstein »

Where are exactly the Deluge settings stored? In (*.ini) file or (Windows) Registry?

Can I export them on Deluge installation 1 and import them on another Deluge installation 2 (e.g. on my notebook)?

This is covered in the FAQ:
https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq ... ingsconfig
Linux, BSD and Mac OSX
~/.config/deluge
Windows OS
%APPDATA%\deluge
When running Deluge as a service the config directory is relative to the user specified in the service configuration.
All settings are just in those files so it is very easy to move your settings around between systems and different OSes.

Ok, thank you.

The location should be more specified in FAQ: %APPDATA%\Roaming\deluge and not e.g. %APPDATA%\Local\deluge

It seems to me that I cannot move this settings directory to another location (like a sub directory of Deluge installation directory).

Can this feature be added in the next release? e.g. by cmdline parameter:

deluge.exe -settings=D:\torr\deluge\mysettings\
