Transfer Settings from Portable to Installed

Post by Neipas09 »

So i downloaded the portable version of qB from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/q ... t_portable

So i went and set it all up with RSS Feeds, RSS Downloader, Settings, pretty much everything.

No i know i can export the RSS Downloader and then import it, so that's no an issue.
But as far as the RSS Feeds and Settings/Options go, what file in the portable folder do i need to backup?
And where will i restore those files to after i install the full version?

The "portable"  version is not supported here, so you will have to ask them for that information, but for "official" and supported versions they are found at;

Thanks for pointing me towards that. I was able to figure out how to copy everything, except the RSS Feeds.

Can you help me in locating where the RSS Feeds are saved from the full install, and then i can track it down for the portable version.

JK! Nevermind.
I figured out what went wrong.

So for future reference for anyone else having this question and not getting the help they need.

How to Transfer Settings from qBittorrent Portable -> qBittorrent Installed
We will assume your folder that contains qBittorrent Portable is located on C:\ and it is called "qBittorrentPortable"
  1. Open "C:\qBittorrentPortable"
  2. Open "%appdata%\qBittorrent"
  3. Open "%localappdata%\qBittorrent"
  4. Copy everything inside "C:\qBittorrentPortable\Data\settings\AppData_qBittorrent\" --> "%appdata%\qBittorrent"
  5. Copy everything inside "C:\qBittorrentPortable\Data\settings\LocalAppData_qBittorrent" --> "%localappdata%\qBittorrent"
And that's it!
Open the installed version of qBittorrent and you will have all your Settings, RSS Feeds, RSS Downloader, etc... on the installed version.
