It's a good idea to periodically backup your Multi-Edit Config directory, as this is where all your personal customizations are stored.
A simple way to determine where the Multi-Edit Config directory is:
1. Open Multi-Edit
2. Go to MACRO -> RUN...
3. In the resulting RUN MACRO dialog, enter the command "SWITWIN /SYSTEM=2" (without the quotes, uppercase, with one space before the slash)
4. In the resulting WINDOW LIST dialog, look for Meconfig.db and Wcmdmap.db . They are usually listed at the top. To the right is the directory where each file is located. This is the Multi-Edit Config directory.
Before version ME2006 10.04, the Config directory is usually located at
- Code: Select all
C:\Program Files\Multi-Edit 2006\Config\
For ME2006 10.04, the Config directory is usually located in a hidden folder:
For Windows XP and earlier:
- Code: Select all
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Multi Edit Software\Multi-Edit\10\Config\
For Windows Vista:
- Code: Select all
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Multi Edit Software\Multi-Edit\10\Config\
For ME2006 10.05, the Config directory is usually located in a hidden folder:
For Windows XP and earlier:
- Code: Select all
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Multi Edit Software\Multi-Edit\10\Config.05\
For Windows Vista:
- Code: Select all
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Multi Edit Software\Multi-Edit\10\Config.05\
Note that these are hidden folders. To view:
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. TOOLS -> FOLDER OPTIONS
3. Select the VIEW tab
4. Under 'Advanced settings:', select "Show hidden files and folders"
(Later you may set this back to "Do not show hidden files and folders")
(Note: The location of the Multi-Edit Config directory can be changed by
creating a file named Mew32.ini in the C:\Program Files\Multi-Edit 2006\ directory.
For example, in 10.05 the Mew32.ini file contains the following lines:
- Code: Select all
[config]
; Path for config files
;path=\\Apache\f\Tools\Config\
; Config directory modifier
;id=-Dev
;id=-test
id=.05
All lines starting with a ; are commented out. The last line says to name
the Config directory Config.05 instead of just Config.)
