[SOLVED] Is there a way to save all the configuration of Nemo? (not only Nemo)

[lalincedeldeserto]

Hi guys!!
I would like to know if there is a way to save the configuration of a program, in this case, Nemo.




Referring to the image upon there's a little menu under "My Computer" section. How can I know where is Nemo configuration file? Is there a way to store the actual configuration (in Nemo)?
If I remove all the entries is possible to restore the last configuration used?

Now I know that dconf dump and load commands can do miracles, but I think it's not enough.
I've just discovered that cinnamon panel settings can be saved with dconf dump / > myfile and copying .cinnamon folder in an auxiliary directory eg. cinnamon_bak/
Then to retrive them I use dconf load / < myfile and moving the directory cinnamon_bak to .cinnamon/

All configuration are in /home in the directory named as the name of the user, stzarting with the letter '.'

The home of root is /root.

Depends on whether you only want nemo-specific stuff or your entire configuration. For nemo-specific files you'll want the ~/.local/share/nemo and ~/.config/nemo folders. But additionally, e.g. the folder bookmarks in nemo are shared data and are stored in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks.

In case of doubt just keep your entire home folder and you can be sure to keep your entire configuration.

thank you, that should be a big help. now about the home folder won't it retain any errors that one hasn't been able to get rid of?

Thank you guys, copying the entire home folder is the safest and coolest way to save all configurations

once again if you backup the home folder won't it retain any errors that you have, so when you restore you still have the same problems.
