Every time I am setting up a new Lazarus version on one of my computers I have
to struggle to configure the IDE as I want it.
It concerns desktop, font sizes, tab behaviour, colors and a number of other
things like key shortcuts etc. I believe these are stored inside the
pcp/environmentoptions.xml file.
My question now is:
Can I simply copy the file from the pcp directory of the previous version of
Lazarus or are the config files version dependent and incompatible?
By looking inside the file on my old installationm I see clearly that this is
not the file I can modify, lots of version dependent paths inside...
It would be nice to have a simple tool for that (ideally with selection
of subsections)... But, well, not there...
anyway in the pcp you mainly look at the xml files.
Other files
- lazarus.dci => code templates. If you added new ones, you can copy,
but that overwrites templates added in later releases.
- staticpackages.inc => do NOT copy, maintained by installing packages
As for the paths included in xml files. Set up you first/source IDE to
use as many macros as possible
$(LazarusDir)
$Path($(LazarusDir))
$(CompPath)
$(FPCVer)
....
Then, I guess most of them can be copied. But not tested.
