Cura 5.7 linux (appimage) : some settings lost

[mediaklan 0]

Hi to you all !
I was trying out the beta 5.7 appimage (I was previously using 5.5) when I realized some settings were lost in the process, namely some generic custom profiles, and some of the materials I added myself.

# custom profiles :

I can see in my .config/cura folder that I have directories related to each cura version (5.5, 5.6, 5.7). Is this why I've lost these settings between the 5.5 and 5.7 versions ?
What is the proper way to retrieve these settings please ?

Wel, I think I've found out. The path with the settings I was looking for :
/home/$USER/.local/share/cura/5.7/
And in the /home/$USER/.local/share/cura/5.5/ folder, I've found the conf files that needs to be restore.
Note : creating a folder with the same name as the appimage ending with .home or .config
(e.g : ultimaker-cura-5.6.0-linux-x64.appimage.home) will get this specific folder to be used as /home or ~/.config for this appimage

Closing this topic now.

It's worth noting that at least for me Cura also has a config folder in ~/.config/cura with the main difference being that in the [metadata] section the files in ~/.config/cura have

setting_version = 22

and the ones in ~/.local/share/cura have

setting_version = 23

 

Both of these folders were migrated when I first launched 5.7. Hey @Dustin, what gives?

Not sure? might be related to being beta release? (bug?)
