Where Does Double Commander Store Settings?
Double Commander keeps doublecmd.xml in the platform config home, with plugins and colors beside it.
Last updated
Double Commander stores settings in an XML file plus supporting folders in the standard config home per OS. Layouts, favorite tabs, colors and plugin choices all live there.
Copying that tree migrates everything including toolbar layouts. Portable builds redirect it beside the executable, which suits synced folders across machines.
