Where Does cool-retro-term Store Profiles?
cool-retro-term keeps profiles and settings in QSettings storage. The config path on Linux and what to back up.
Last updated
cool-retro-term stores profiles through Qt settings with fonts, scanline effects and colors. On Linux that lands in the config home under the app name. Custom profiles sit beside the defaults.
Backups are one small tree. Copy it with the terminal quit and every profile returns. Other platforms use native settings storage instead of this path, so treat the Linux location as the documented one.

~/.config/cool-retro-term/cool-retro-term.conf
Profiles, fonts and effect settings. Back up with the terminal quit. Deleting it resets to factory profiles on next launch.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move cool-retro-term profiles?
Copy the cool-retro-term config with the app quit. Profiles with fonts, effects and colors travel with it. Default profiles rebuild on next launch, so a partial copy still leaves a working terminal.
How do I reset cool-retro-term?
Delete the settings file with the app quit and relaunch. Factory profiles and effects return. Keep a copy of custom profiles elsewhere first, since reset wipes them too.
