I've recently become a Tweetdeck convert. I love that you can setup multiple groups to organize the people you follow and only read what you're really interested in. The problem I ran into is that I use multiple machines. Setting up my groups and assigning people to them on each machine was not something I was really excited about. Tweetdeck doesn't have a built-in export feature (at least not that I've found) but there is a fairly easy way to copy your settings and preferences from one machine to another. There are two files where this information is stored; preferences_username.xml and td_26_username.db (not sure if that number is the same for everyone but you get the idea). All you need to do is copy those files from one machine to the other and voila! The paths to the files are below.
Mac: user/Library/Preferences/TweetDeckFast[bunch of numbers]/Local Store/
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\TweetDeckFast[bunch of numbers]\Local Store\
It's not ideal, especially if you make a lot of changes to your settings but it's better than nothing.
UPDATE: A reader just informed me that you may need to change the files permissions from 'Read Only' on the DB file before you can update the DB file on the machine you are copying to.
If you’re using vista, the path to the setting file is: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\TweetDeckFast.[Bunch of numbers]\Local Store
I’m unable to find the directory in ubuntu/linux
any ideas?
I found…
/opt/TweetDeck/share/META-INF/AIR/tweetdeckfast.f9107117265db7542c1a806c8db837742ce14c21.1.directory
but it says it’s not a folder :S
@Mitchell Not sure if you’ve already found what you’re looking for but here’s what I found so far.
Still looking forward to an actual export button in TweetDeck. Cheers!
