Where Does xreader Store Settings?
xreader Mint viewer dconf settings with accels and print files.
Last updated
xreader keeps prefs in dconf under its X-App schemas. Accels and print settings get small files in config. Positions flow through GVFS metadata instead.
Annotations live inside the document, which surprises backup planners. Trust the metadata and embedded stores over any folder hunt.
Where xreader stores this, by platform
~/.config/xreader/accels
Main prefs in dconf X-App schemas. Accels and print files in config. Positions via GVFS metadata. Annotations embedded in PDFs with no folder.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up xreader?
Copy the xreader config folder with the viewer closed. Accels and print settings travel there. Main prefs ride dconf dump and load. Keep both halves together.
Where are annotations kept?
Positions and zoom persist through filesystem metadata, not the config. Annotations embed in the PDF itself. No annotations folder exists to back up.
