Where Does Totem Store State and Plugins?
Totem Videos dconf settings, state file and user plugins dir.
Last updated
Totem splits state three ways. Settings ride dconf under a case-sensitive path. Window state persists in an INI under config. User plugins get their own data folder.
No history database is verified beyond these. Play position lore exceeds what source confirms. Keep the documented trio together.
Where Totem stores this, by platform
~/.config/totem/state.ini
Settings in case-sensitive dconf path with state INI under config. User plugins in data folder. Man page confirms files. No verified history DB beyond this.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Totem?
Copy state.ini plus the plugins folder with the app closed. Settings travel through dconf dump. Restoring means putting files back and loading the dump.
Totem or Totem casing?
Lowercase t in the app name with capital T in the dconf path. Mixing the case misses the schema. The man page documents state plus plugins as the only files.
