Wondering if it’s possible to export my exact AbleSet settings including MIDI/osc commands and any custom canvases I have made?
Had someone knock over a 2019 laptop and the screen is completely broken.
I know for custom styles I can get access to the folder by plugging in a second monitor and should be able to just copy the text across easily. It’s all the other stuff I’ve built MIDI settings etc. that I’m hoping there’s an easy way to export!?
Many thanks!
As far as I’m aware, there isn’t an actual “export configuration” feature, but the data is stored in JSON files which can be found in your AppData folder.
On Windows, you can type %APPDATA%\ableset into File Explorer.
I don’t know where appdata is stored on Mac.
You should just be able to copy the entire AbleSet AppData folder over to a new computer, or you can copy specific files over - the names should be pretty self-explanatory, and you can always open a JSON file in a text editor to view its contents. You’ll want to copy over the canvases/ directory as well.
Thank you for the help, @s1ah!
Adding to this, you can always reach the appdata folder by opening AbleSet’s status window, clicking the settings icon on the top right, and selecting “Show Custom Styles”, then navigate one folder up.
Some important files and folders to copy are:
Copying the license file won’t work as it is bound to the computer it was created on.
I hope this helps!
