Where Does SpaceFM Store Settings on Linux?
SpaceFM keeps session and prefs in ~/.config/spacefm, with custom commands beside them.
Last updated
SpaceFM stores its session file, preferences, custom commands, and plugin state in ~/.config/spacefm. Panel layouts and device lists restore from the session on launch. That folder is the whole backup.
Copy it with SpaceFM closed to migrate tuned setups. Socket files inside refresh on launch, so stale ones never matter. Version upgrades keep the tree compatible across recent releases.
Where SpaceFM stores this, by platform
~/.config/spacefm
Session plus prefs and custom commands. Copy whole folder with the app closed. Sockets inside regenerate automatically.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up SpaceFM layouts?
Copy ~/.config/spacefm whole, which holds session and panels. Restore before launch on the new machine and check each panel.
Where are SpaceFM custom commands?
In the same config tree beside the session file. They travel with the folder copy. Test root commands carefully after migration.
