Brass Plugins: Mime

 

Backing Up Your Gestures

You really don't want to lose all your gestures once you've spent time creating them. To back up your existing configuration, simply copy the <your username>_gestureconfig.nfo file from the Plugins/Mime directory to a safe location. For example, if your username is "32bits", the file will be called "32bits_gestureconfig.nfo".

You might want to back up the entire contents of the Mime directory just in case. This will keep all your gestures, criteria plugins and exclusions safe.

 

Restoring Your Gestures

To restore the data, make sure Mime isn't running then copy all the files from the safe location back into the Plugins/Mime directory. The next time Mime runs it will pick up the restored files. This technique can be used to copy the Mime config to a different computer. Please check your license agreement before doing this though.

 

Changing Your Username

Maybe you changed your Windows username, or you copied your gesture configuration to a different computer where you're using a different username. To enable Mime to recognise the gesture file as yours, simply make sure the gestureconfig.nfo filename contains your username at the start.

For example, if the file is currently called "32bits_gestureconfig.nfo" and I move it to my laptop where my username is "coder99", I would rename the file to "coder99_gestureconfig.nfo".

Gesture config files are based on your username to allow multiple users on the same computer to have a different gesture configuration.
