Hi all..
I already wrote an integration script to export settings from within PhpED.. but decided to write this as an external windows application too to offer a more elegant approach in regards to flexibility.
You can now select which files you wish to export. This will subsequently create a Zip file of all of the selected config file types and a registry dump of the settings that reside in the registry too. Importing is simply a case of selecting the zip file and hitting the 'import' button.
Here's a quick peek at what it looks like:
For downloads, visit:
https://clue-by-4.org/software/PhpED+Settings+Manager
It requires .NET framework 4, but other than that, is portable and downloaded as a zip file.. simply unzip and go!
Hopefully of use to some until these features are integrated directly into PhpED itself.
Compatibility: Compatible with 5.x, 6.x, 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, 10.x, 11.x and 12.x (x86 & x64)

Hi Ian,
I didn't try it yet, but it's a nice idea, thank you for sharing this!
It would be nice if you could list the PhpED version numbers this tool is guaranteed to work with (e. g. the new version 8.1). I guess changes don't occur very often, but I'd like to be sure that my settings are safe - I don't like surprises in cases like this...
Cheers,
Jan

Thanks!

Thanks for your explanation - that's why I said "I guess changes don't occur very often". But nobody can foresee what NuSphere will do - maybe in a year they'll decide to use a completely different system in PhpED 9. So I save my settings, upgrade to that new major version - and all settings are lost.
Sure, that's a worst-case scenario, and I don't think it will happen, too. But being sure that someone has tested this just gives me a feeling of greater security. ![Wink](images/smiles/icon_wink.gif) It's definitely not necessary for every build, but if you could test it with 8.2, 8.3, ..., 9.0 etc., posting the result here would be very nice of you.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Jan

Definitely will test against future versions. It'll get tested against the betas and RCs and then should be ready for release day
Fully understand the "fear factor" etc, especially where the registry is involved, but will make a point of testing for each build I test and then uptate the OP with results of each release, that way, there should never be any issues.
Cheers,
Ian

I've intalled .net v4 as specified but keep receiving this message:
System.IO.FileLoadException with values:
System Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3
Regional parameter identifier (this is approx translation): 3084 |
I just wanted to try it, too, but although the .NET Framework 4 is installed (version 4.0.30320), no window opens. PhpEDSettingsMgr.exe can be seen in the Task Manager for a while, then it exits without an error message.
I tried using it on a German Windows 7 system (x64, Ultimate edition).
Cheers,
Jan

Yikes! Thanks for the reports both of you.
This looks to be a locale situation that I hadn't come across using an EN version.. this being Win7 x64 ultimate too (and Pro).
I'll install a different locale in vmware over the weekend and look to fix this.
Apologies for this issue slipping through the net
Cheers..
Ian

Great, thanks!

No need to apologize - this is free software that you are so kind to share, and it's new, so some glitches are more or less normal and no problem at all.
Cheers,
Jan
