To change the default Export (now called Backup Settings Path Override):
1. Right Click the Display Fusion System Tray iCon.
2. Choose (i.e. Click) Settings.
3. Choose Advanced Settings (button at bottom of form)
4. In General section, double click Backup Settings Path Override
5. Enter the desired Backup Path (e.g. c:\C:\ProgramData\Binary Fortress Software\DisplayFusion\Backups) and choose Ok,
6. Choose Ok to exit the configuration form.

Note: The above c:\programData folder is hidden by default.

It took me some time to figure out exactly what to do for DisplayFusion Pro 9.5, so I wanted to provide some written clarification for others and for future reference. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040#15 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 19:33:19 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040#15 DisplayFusion No problem, glad to hear it! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040#14 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 22:18:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040#14 DisplayFusion Just installed version 6.0; thanks for implementing this option.

We've also renamed the "Backup Settings" button to "Export Settings."

Are either of these changes going to be implemented? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040#10 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 03:21:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040#10 DisplayFusion Not yet, but we're hoping to add it in a future version.

I wan to move the folder from my documents to my owncloud folder so it just syncs.

Check out the -settingsbackup parameter here: http://www.displayfusion.com/faq#commandline

Being able to provide a filename and location for the file would be helpful in this situation as well. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040#6 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 17:00:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040#6 DisplayFusion They are currently on our list for 5.2, and we'll post an update when they make it into a beta ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040#5 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 20:29:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040#5 DisplayFusion Hi Keith,

A little disappointed that neither of these changes made it into 5.1. Are they being looked at for 5.2? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040#4 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 21:25:30 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040#4 DisplayFusion No problem Skier, thanks for the input! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040#3 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 19:29:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040#3 DisplayFusion Hi Keith, I think 'Export Settings' would certainly better describe the functionality.

Thank you for looking into the option to change the back-up location.

Best Regards

Interesting point! How about "Export Settings"? Would that be a bit more intuitive in your opinion?

2. This is something that we'll hopefully be able to do in 5.1, so I'll be sure to post an update as soon as there's a beta available that lets you change the default backup location.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 08:44:48 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/backup-settings/?ID=a08ba34c-d2e5-4378-b14c-60f5fefd3040 DisplayFusion Two points re Backup settings:

1. As written 'Backup Settings' suggests that clicking here will offer a menu of settings for controlling Backups. The current function would be more accurately described as 'Backup DF Settings.' This is a trivial point but the reason for me mentioning it is as a consequence of point 2 below.

2. Many programs have now started placing folders in a user's 'My Documents' folder, DF included. This is extremely irritating as My Documents quickly becomes cluttered with largely irrelevant folders. Is there a way within DF of changing the default location of DF backups? I couldn't find one (I haven't yet been into the Registry).
