Where Does Dragon Player Store Settings on Linux?

Where Dragon Player keeps settings, recent files and display options on Linux systems for backup.

Last updated

Dragon Player keeps its options in a KDE rc file under XDG config: recent files, subtitle choices and display settings in one small text file. Playlists save as separate files wherever you put them.

The rc filename has shifted between Plasma generations, so look for sibling names when guides disagree. Copy with the player closed; recent lists flush on exit. Videos themselves need their own backup like any files.

Options and recents in one rc file under XDG config. Filename can vary by Plasma generation, so check siblings. Playlists save separately.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up Dragon Player settings?

Copy the dragonplayerrc file with the player closed. Options and recent files travel in that one file. Restoring means dropping it back before launch on the new machine.

I cannot find the Dragon Player config. Why?

Open Settings inside Dragon Player and read the values; the dialog writes the same rc file. Exact filename can vary by Plasma generation, so check for sibling names when the file seems missing.
