Where are custom toolbar and menu files located?

Help, I just changed computers. On my old computer I made and used custom toolbars and menus. I am having trouble locating which files to transfer to the new computer to use these items. My old computer was running Win10 and the new one is running Win11. Can anyone point me to possible filenames and locations of these files? Thanks in advance for your help on this.

In Windows this information is kept in the registry, so you can't find any settings file to transfer.

If you want to give it a try, you can search for LibreCAD in the registry and export the settings from the W10 machine. The sub keys are self explaining, you can try to transfer needed sub keys only.
Transfer the whole LibreCAD branch might work if install location is the same and files are already transferred. Otherwise there can be issues with Path, RecentFiles or other sub keys containing path information.
Backup the W11 settings before import is probably a good idea.

The registry path on my W11 is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LibreCAD\LibreCAD.

Thanks for the info. I'm not fond of messing with the registry (especially on a brand new machine) so I'll probably just rebuild the menus. It's too bad there's not just a file in AppData or ProgramData that could be easily transferred.

I appreciate your very swift response. Please consider this thread RESOLVED and CLOSED.

We may also consider adding features to allow exporting and loading settings.

I will have a look there.

we already have export/import in 2.2.2, so you could try to download this version, export settings and import them back on another computer.  Most of settings should be transferred, and you could then user the production version 2.2.1.



You can download 2.2.2 (dev alpha, not for production) here:

That's great. Thanks for pointing out.

I need to learn about the framework.
