Time for action – exporting Aptana Studio preferences


  1. Navigate to File | Export....

  2. Select the Preferences entry under the General entry in the window and click on Next.

  3. Select the preferences that should be exported. We want to export all the settings, therefore we'll select the Export all checkbox.

  4. The filename must end with the suffix .epf (eclipse preferences file) so that it's possible to select the file and import the preferences back later.

  5. Click on the Finish button to complete the export.

What just happened?

Now we have saved all the preferences to a local file. If you create a new workspace or set up a new installation of Aptana Studio now, you will be able to restore all your preferences.

But how can you import your saved preferences back? Take a look at how easy it is.
