Where Does Clapper Store Settings and History on Linux?
Clapper keeps preferences in dconf, with no central library database to migrate.
Last updated
Clapper stores player prefs like subtitles, audio tracks, and window state in dconf under its schema path. There is no music style library to back up. Playlists exist per session only.
Migrate with a dconf dump for the Clapper path. Videos open from their own folders every time. Fresh installs default well, so restore matters mostly for subtitle and performance tweaks.
Where Clapper stores this, by platform
dconf database (Clapper preferences)
Player prefs only, no text file. Export with dconf dump for migration. Flatpak shares the same dconf path.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Clapper settings?
Dump the dconf path above to a file and load it on the new host. No folder copy is involved at any step.
Does Clapper keep a watch history?
Only resume points per session in memory. Reopen files to continue. Nothing on disk needs backup for history.
