Hello. Now, I have installed blender 2.76.
But it always happens to me that there is no button saying Copy Previous Settings when I firstly start the new version of blender.
How can I import previous setting ,say, add-ons and user preferences? I’ve searched for a while, but I couldn’t figure it out. I’d appreciate if you could help me.
Delete the config files you have created for 2.76. When you then start blender you will get the option to copy settings in the splash screen
The location of the config files depend on your OS.
See http://www.blender.org/manual/getting_started/installing_blender/directorylayout.html
I’m so sorry for making trouble. I’m trying to understanding the page.
I can’t find neither “Documents and settings” nor “AppData” folder, but I could find “Blender Foundation” and “2.76” folder in program files.
But you say don’t delete the files in program files but delete the 2.76 folder…
Can I delete this entire 2.76 folder?
Can I delete this entire 2.76 folder?
NO, unless you want to delete blender altogether. Read my previous post
I can’t find neither “Documents and settings” nor “AppData” folder,
You may have them set to hidden. Look in the file manager options to enable hidden files to be visible.
If you’re not capable of basic file navigation, just redo your preferences manually
Show Hidden Folders (File Explorer / File / Options)
Delete version directory
It really is ridiculous that this happens at all.
Because there was no option to copy previous settings in the splash screen, I manually copied every files from 2.74 to 2.76.
Then it’ worked! All userpreferences seem to be copied well at least as of now!
Thank you very much!
@jaxtraw lol so true.
Seems, we need to update every time.
Someone said that updating from 2.74 to 2.76 didn’t work. But 2.74→2.75→2.76 worked.
I recommend using the blender app through steam as it auto updates and keeps your configs in 1 place. The copy previous setting button works no questions asked.
