Is it possible to transfer editor settings (syntax coloring...)

Question

Hi,
sometimes I take a project home to waste my weekend. It appears to me that on a different computer projects may look different, even if I copy the prj and cws files.
Is there a possibility to transfer all user settings including editor preferences?
Thanks, Wolfgang

The vast majority of the build options settings are stored either in the project or the workspace file.  The release compiler settings are stored in the registry, but because you need to explicitly create the .ecc file, the Import/Export tool leaves you to do this.  If you wanted the tool to copy these settings for you (the .ecc file would need to be in the same place on both computers), you should modify the CVISettings.xml file located at Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\CVI\Bin.  You would need to add the following xml to the file:
<Category Name="External Compiler Support"
ExpDesc="This item includes all settings corresponding to external compiler support."
RevDesc="Reverting this item removes all user defined external release compilers.">
    <Item Key="ExternalCompilerConfigurations" EnumKeys="1" />
</Category>
