Where Does Ristretto Store Settings?
Ristretto image viewer Xfconf channel plus accelerator map file.
Last updated
Ristretto stores options in Xfconf under its own channel. The per-channel XML file holds the live values. Accelerator bindings get a separate scm file.
A guessed conf path floats around in guides. Source proves the channel plus accels pair instead. Keep both files together.
Where Ristretto stores this, by platform
~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/ristretto.xml
Main options in the Xfconf channel XML. Accelerators in a separate scm file. No conf file exists despite guides. Both paths verified in source.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Ristretto?
Copy the xfconf channel XML plus the accels file with the viewer closed. Main options travel in the channel. Restoring means putting both back before launch.
Where is ristretto.conf?
No. The proposed conf name does not exist. Settings live in the Xfconf channel with accelerators in a separate scm file. Trust the channel path.
