hey i really enjoy using E but there one thing i want to figure out where is the profile as in ( mobile,default,desktop) is there a way to import those setting or dig into some sort of config file to retrieve them to store them somewhere else if E ever ... be only accesible with a terminal?
Hello and welcome to the forum!
There should be a ~/.e
folder, that is, a folder called .e
inside your home folder (/home/<USER>
). you won't be able to see it in thunar, but you can use it in the terminal or by changing the path inside thunar to ~/.e
haha @triantares beat you to the punch
It depends which E (E16, E17 or E24)you are using.
E16 can be altered through files in ~/.e16/* but the menu also offers an option called "enlightenment" where you'll find various settings
.
E17 (that would be using Stable) as well as E24 have only the "settings" menu option but offer a plethora of possibilities. Both can be altered through files that reside in ~/.e/ but any changes made there (same goes for E16, actually) will be gone when restarting E*.
As to E24 profiles .... they're down to 3 options:
i want to save one of those option somewhere else!@! thanks for your answer
to Anwser my own question you just copy profile (everything you want to share somewhere else(as for me its was the binding and it work flawlessly !@! "biniding1-9"
For those scratching their head and thinking "what's he on about?" :
The said bindings (and a lot more) can be found in ~/.e/e/config/standard/
.... to backup an existing E24 configuration it's best to back-up the whole ~/.e/
directory albeit that the sub-directory shots/
(and backgrounds/
as well) can become fairly large, depending on your habits.
