Saved Layouts - User profile

Question

I installed Paratext on an additional computer using my existing registration. I found that it installed some of my saved layouts, but not all. It also had some of the saved layouts that I deleted a long time ago. I suppose this must mean that the installation is using an outdated user profile?
Is there a way to update the user profile so it uses the newest preferences and settings when installing PT on a different computer?

Answer 1

At the end of every send/receive, we copy some user settings to the send/receive server.
The first time that Paratext is run on a new computer, we download those settings from the send/receive server and install them on the new computer.
To see the last settings sent to the server, you could look at the old computer in a folder named: C:\My Paratext 9 Projects\UserSettings_Peter \Settings_WindowCollections
Looking at my folder makes me think we aren’t cleaning out that folder, so maybe old files are accumulating.
