Migrating Far Manager settings from another machine

Question

Is there an easy way to export/import settings for another machine’s instance of Far?

Solution 1

For Far Manager ver. 3.0:

Export settings:

Far.exe /export settings.cfg

Import settings:

Far.exe /import settings.cfg

Solution 2

For version 2:

1. Run SaveSettings.cmd from Far installation folder.
2. Copy FarSave1.reg and FarSave2.reg to target machine.
3. Run RestoreSettings.cmd there.

Solution 3

In Windows 10 all configs are located here:

C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Far Manager

Just copy it to another PC.
