Where Does Currency Store Settings on Linux?

Where GNOME Currency keeps rates cache and settings on Linux for reset, backup and full moves today.

Last updated

Currency keeps almost everything in dconf: base currency, update choices and window state under its app branch. Exchange rates refresh from the network on every launch on each machine.

Dump the branch for migration; load it back with the app closed. Exact app id can vary by fork, so list dconf to confirm on your machine. Clearing settings never touches anything else on any install you own, without exceptions.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up Currency settings?

Copy the dconf branch with dconf dump before resetting. Base currency travels in settings. Restoring means loading the file back with the app closed.

How do I reset Currency to defaults?

Quit Currency and reset its dconf branch, then relaunch. Rates refresh from the network regardless. The app recreates defaults on next start with no history.
