How to Transfer digiKam user settings

[Eduard Zalar]

Hello,

I want to use the digiKam user settings with different users on the same Windows machine.

Because I changed really a lot of settings, I dont want to to this manually for all my three user accounts.

So I am curious if it would be sufficient to copy the ".digikamrc" file to each users home directory or is more necessary to transfer really all digiKam user settings?

BTW: I have a common pictures collection for all users and they should also use the same database.

With best regards

For all common settings, yes it will be enough.

But all resource files are listed in this bugzilla entry :

Thank you very much for the quick response!  I will try it.

I checked the path and found additional folder: ~\AppData\Local\kxmlgui5\digikam

Should this be copied, too?
