Exporting settings for file types

You can export the settings of a customized file type to a file. The exported file is given the extension .sdlftsettings.

About this task

You can only export customized settings, so modify the settings for the file type. For example, select XML: Any XML from the navigation tree and make a change in any of the settings pages.

Procedure

  1. Decide for which projects you want to export file type settings:
    • For the active project, go to the Projects view, and on the Home tab, select Project Settings.
    • For all future projects, go to File > Options.
  2. Select File Types from the navigation tree on the left.
  3. In the pane on the right that has the list of file types, select the name of the file type (not the selection box to the left of the name) to save, for example, select XML: Any XML.
  4. Select Export Settings.
  5. Navigate to an appropriate folder and enter an appropriate file name, for example xml_settings, and save the file.
