Where are settings stored?

View

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.

I've just spent a long time creating behaviors and actions for use with my remote harmony. I would like to think I could use these again if I ever have to reformat my computer or buy a new one. Does anyone know if this is possible? I always try and avoid restoring the full computer from the time machine. With most programs it's just a question of copying a few preferences. Where are remote buddy's settings stored?

I assume that there is no way of avoiding re-adding the remote and allocating the keys again. Is this true? Luckily this is quite simple.

These entries from the FAQ may be relevant to this topic:

Configuration

How do I add a new action to a Behaviour - f.ex. an emulated key press or AppleScript? (FAQ015E0153)
1) Open the Remote Buddy Preferences via the pulldown-menu and choose "Mapping".
2) Choose the mapping you want to modify.
3) Select "Custom actions" for the button you want to map to an action of your own.
4) Create the action you need using the appearing editor.

Just make a copy of all the " com.iospirit... " files from:
~/library/preferences/
Then load them into the same location on your new setup before running RB.

Everything will work as before.

Cheers.

An afterthought. What if I replace the remote harmony with a new remote harmony? Will remote buddy consider it as the same remote and use all the settings of the old remote or will I need to pair the new remote and allocate the keys again? I'm very happy with the way the remote is working with remote buddy but it was quite a task setting it up!

Thanks for asking.

Regarding backup / replication of your settings, instructions are available in the FAQ under:
http://www.iospirit.com/support/faqs/remotebuddy/category/8/Configuration/

Regarding your Harmony question:
1) From Remote Buddy's side: the IR codes themselves won't change, so Remote Buddy will just recognize it as previously.

2) From Logitech's side: it depends:
a) if you replace your remote with the same model: nothing should change.

b) if you replace your remote with another model that uses the same configuration software: your settings are - mostly - transferred by Logitech's software. Detail settings may be lost, though.

c) if you replace your remote with another model that uses a different configuration software (when f.ex. switching to a Harmony 300, which uses myharmony.com): you may or may not be able to transfer your settings. This is something I haven't tried, yet and thus can't share any personal experience.

Best regards,
Felix Schwarz

Thank you very much for the information. I hadn't found this link on the site.
I actually found that my behaviors are stored in application support/remote buddy. I assume I shall need these too for remote buddy to work the same way on a new computer.
When pairing the remote harmony with remote buddy, 10 apple remotes were created. I then mapped these physical remotes with 10 logical remotes I created.
I assume that as long as I use a new remote harmony which remote buddy treats as 10 apple remotes I can always remap the new apple remotes to the already existing (via the backup of the preferences) 10 logical remotes.

This sounds very complicated when I read it back. I hope the question is clear.

Thanks

Sure, if you've created your own Behaviours, you'll want to move them along to.

Yes, that should be possible.
