Where Does GNOME Disks Store Settings?
GNOME Disks dconf settings with image dir and benchmark keys.
Last updated
Disks persists a small footprint in dconf. Last image dir URI, window state and benchmark params cover it. Schema XML verifies every key.
No ISO lists or benchmark results persist anywhere. The app stays stateless beyond these prefs. Keep backup to the schema dump.
Where GNOME Disks stores this, by platform

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Disks settings?
Dump the Disks schemas with the app closed. Image dir plus benchmark params travel in the dump. Restoring means loading it back before launch.
Do benchmark results persist?
No. Only the last image folder, window state and benchmark parameters persist. Results and lists stay in memory. Rerun benchmarks after any restore.
