Frequently asked questions
How do I back up ROX-Filer?
Copy the rox config folder with the filer closed. Pinboard plus panel files travel with settings. Restoring means putting the folder back before launch.
Choices or XDG paths?
The old Choices path names the same store before XDG adoption. Current builds use the XDG tree. Leave legacy copies behind after migrating.
