How do I copy all printers, settings, etc from Windows Cura 5.9 to linux Cura 5.9?

Posted · How do I copy all printers, settings, etc from Windows Cura 5.9 to linux Cura 5.9?

Closest info I could find was in this thread, but when I use the 'help' tab to navigate to the >>cura>5.9 folder on each computer, the linux version (new installation) contains only a folder named 'scripts', 'cura.cfg', and 'plugins.json'. My much-used Windows version has:

Is it correct that I should copy every file & folder, and insert them in the corresponding directory for the linux version?  Obviously, the two existing files  and the folder in the linux version will get overwritten (or duplicated). Is that the correct thing to do?

 

Thanks for the help; trying to wean myself off Windoze, but learning Cura and linux concurrently is...serious work. 😉

    For some reason Cura on Linux stores a few things in ~/.config/cura/<version number>/ (the folder you found) but most of it is in ~/.local/share/cura/<version number>/

    Copy things to where they are already in Linux (there's a scripts folder in both, copy it to ~/.local/share/cura/<version number>/).

    Copying cura.cfg will be a little hassle at first because all the recent files and last saved location and such will be Windows paths so it'll probably just reset the save location and the recent files just won't work.

    You don't need to copy the cura.log file at all.
