How to import personalizations into new workspace?

Guru 15580 points

For various reasons I find myself frequently having to create a new workspace and importing all of my existing project files into it. This causes me to have to re-create all of my debug launch configurations as well a modified perspectives. Is there a way to import these settings from the previous workspace instead of re-creating them?

 

  • Mike,

    It is possible to export/import some settings.  It is also possible to copying some settings when creating a new workspace (pretty limted).

    When you use file -> switch workspace, select other and create a new workspace there is a "Copying Settings" option.  This will help preserve your perspective settings.

    As far as exporting and importing settings you can do this from File -> Export.  Expand general and select "Preferences".  This will let you preserve some other environment settings.  You can then do File -> Import and import the preferences into your new workspace.

    Unfortunately I don't think either of these will get your launch settings.

  • John,

    Thanks. Very helpful. Looks like Launch Configurations were added to v5.1. import.
