Saving program settings

Post by Quadcowgirl »

Is their a way to save program in its entirety like I've imported hundreds of frames and tubes individually but when my computer ask up and I have to restart it all over again it makes me re-import everything individually is there a way to backup my program to where I don't have to reimport everything such as installed picture tubes picture frames brushes etc.

To save Settings, save your customised Workspace:
File>Workspace>Save Workspace.
Give it a name and date :-)

To manage your Picture Tubes etc:
I have made a new folder in My Documents.
Called it My PSP Files.
MyPSPFiles.jpg
In there I have copied all the folders that come with PSP (all versions):
I use those to add extra content instead of the folders that come with Corel I don't use those.
This way the folders are safe and won't get removed when PSP is uninstalled.
I point PSP to the My PSP Files folder instead of the Corel one.

To import tubes etc.:
Highlight all the Picture Tubes you want to add, copy them (Ctrl+C), then Paste them (Ctrl+V) into your Picture Tubes folder.
Ditto with other imports, just copy them into the correct folder.
Then point PSP to the folder:
File>Preferences>File Locations, locate the correct folder + click Add.

I hope this helps :-)

I have placed all tubes into a folder called picture tubes when I set the preferences to locate the picture tube folder it doesn't pick up all of them not even 10 percent I've been importing tubes and frames
For days now it's really frustrating I'd rather be spending that time with my two year old

I am trying it tight now I hope I can report back with good news lol. I know the last time I did something like this when I had to uninstall my psp it deleted the folders that I directed my psp to for frames and tubes. I dont know if its because I directed them their and it was in my preferences but I lost everything
