Clean install – Prefrences
Hi.
I am planing on doing a clean install of windows.
And was wondering if cgshortcut have any tutorial on what files one should keep backed up before doing something like this?Keeping hotkeys, layouts, templates, presets, databases,scripts,plugins. (Alot of these are stored externaly, like the database content, but need the correct pref file to link it up again)
Cheers.

Hey Mats,
I have a video showing how to export your Cinema 4D shortcut keys here:
👉 https://cgshortcuts.com/export-your-cinema-4d-shortcuts-keys/You could also make a copy of your c4d preferences folder – inside Library/Layouts you can also find any custom interface layouts you may have created.
Most of the settings I use over and over again are in my default project file, I just start from that on any new project because the scene is set up exactly how I like it – render settings, colorspace, lighting templates, etc
I’ll be sharing my default project soon and how it can be used if you want to use that as a starting place as well

The preference folder contained most of what i needed.<div>
New.c4d was there. Shortcuts, layouts, settings, plugin.js, databases.
So it was pretty organized. Just backup preference folder. And copy over what you need when done clean installing.
Cheers.
