Manage Settings / Profile Migration / Resetting Settings
To manage your settings file the Settings tab provides an 'Expander Menu' on the right hand side of the screen (click to expand):
Here you can:
| • | Open Folder: Open the folder that contains the settings file in use |
| • | Export: Copy settings to another location |
| • | Import: Load settings to be used with this setup |
| • | Reset Default: All values are reset to default values |
| • | Import Old Version Settings: Looks for other installations of AllSkEye and allows the user to import them directly |
| • | Create an 'Alternative' setup of AllSkEye: Allows the use of AllSkEye with two or more cameras. Please see here for details. |
Settings Folder
All AllSkEye related settings are stored within one settings file:AllSkEyeSettings.xaml
This file is located in the following folder (the AppData folder is a hidden folder by default and you will need to enable 'Hidden Items' in the file explorer to see it):
C:\Users\[Your Windows User Name]\AppData\Local\AllSkEye_[Version Number]_[x32 or x63]
Please note that if you have multiple versions of AllSkEye installed side by side then each version will have its own settings file folder.
Using Multiple Setups with Same Version
It is possible to control two or more camera setups with the same installation on the same computer. Settings for each setup will be contained in separate settings files but within the same folder. Please see here for details.
Error / FTP Log
The application will also save the following files to the same location:
| • | Error Log -> Logs all application errors |
| • | FTP Transfer Log -> logs ftp transfer details (only active if this has been enabled in AllSkEye ftp settings) |
Backup
The AllSkEye application includes a backup mechanism which will store your current settings in a backup file alongside the actual settings file. Should the settings file become corrupt you can rename this file to restore your latest working settings. The application will also offer to restore this backup file if it finds the primary file corrupt or missing.
Location (same as settings file):
C:\Users\[Your Windows User Name]\AppData\Local\AllSkEye_[Version Number]_[x32 or x63]
