Where Does SolveSpace Store Settings?
SolveSpace settings file on Linux with registry and plist notes.
Last updated
SolveSpace keeps one JSON settings file under XDG config on Linux GTK builds. The Qt variant uses a classic conf name instead. Other platforms diverge completely.
Windows stores in registry with macOS on user defaults. Neither yields a handy file. Models always save as slvs wherever chosen.
Where SolveSpace stores this, by platform
~/.config/solvespace/settings.json

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up SolveSpace?
Copy settings.json with the app closed. Models save as slvs anywhere and need separate backup. Restoring means putting the JSON back before launch.
Where is the parts library?
No persistent parts folder exists. Resources ship with the install or beside the binary. User models live wherever saved as slvs files. Back up models like any documents.
