Sure. You can do so through the cloud using the built-in ("standard feature") Cura Backups facility, which requires an Ultimaker account. Fortunately you already have one; the account you use for this forum will do. Backup your settings on one PC, restore them on the other.

 

Alternatively, you can go to Help -> Show configuration folder to and copy all the files you see there from one PC to another.

 

 

 

Sorry, what is really, really bad now?

I removed 4.12 from my new PC, installed 4.11 and copied the settings. Now I have 4.11 working on my new PC as it was on my old pc, so that's a relief, thank you for the tip.

But, I have a new problem. When I try to open a file Cura Slicer crashes. I can however drag files from file explorer to Cura, but when I try t open a file from the menue <File><Open> the app freezes and crashes after about 5 seconds.

Removed the app, reinstalled it, no resloution.

Any idea what can be wrong???

Ah, found a solution here: https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/4402996140946-Ultimaker-Cura-crashes-when-opening-any-file, seemed it had to do with the Chitubox thumbnail preview.

Installed 4.12, everything working fine now...

Sorry for my blunt first post on this topic. Sometimes it helps to stop for a few hours and get back to it. 😉

If we have the ability to sign into ultimaker account on cura. Would it be possible to link the profiles in our ultimaker account and when we open cura it just search for changes and update that way? If most app games can do this via an account login like google play, steam, goat games, ext. Being open source this could be implemented via an extension or plug-in. Even if they could just be saved in or ultimaker account so we could download them from there, we have the ability seeing it automatically syncs my extensions I believe this could relatively be done the same way with printers, materials and profiles?

you mean Cura syncs extensions but not print profiles?
