From time to time, I copy my MediaMonkey 5 database to my laptop.
Because my laptop screen is a lot smaller than my desktop, column selections and settings are different.
Can I somehow copy my database without it changing the settings?

No, those are part of the database.

I suspected that.
I just thought that there may be a way to separate it.
Unfortunately not.

Hi,
What files you copy to laptop when you migrate Database?

Re: Copy MediaMonkey 5 Database Without Copying Settings
Are you sure about that? It would make more sense that they were stored in the persistent.json file?
dypsis, I would try setting up the laptop as you want it, and then drop in a copy of MM5.db from your main PC.
That may retain much of your laptop settings.
LowLander, is there any issue with this experiment?
Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.
Re: Copy MediaMonkey 5 Database Without Copying Settings
Columns selections and UI settings in general is within persistent.json file (some in MediaMonkey.ini) so copying just MM5.DB will persist your UI settings.
Re: Copy MediaMonkey 5 Database Without Copying Settings
The only file I copy is MM5.DB. But after doing that, I have to make settings adjustments.
Re: Copy MediaMonkey 5 Database Without Copying Settings
which adjustments? ... just curious
