Playlist Location/Export?

[Scottx125]

Just wondering if there's a stored location of each playlist created or a way to export them so you can re-import them later on?

The playlists are stored in the config.json (you can open it with an editor like Notepad++ and search for it). A backup functionality for playlists is one of the features we have on our long-term roadmap but have not had the time to implement properly yet I am afraid.

Thanks for the quick response, it'd be cool if it saved sound profile settings as well so that in the event of a crash or power cut it doesn't reset all your settings(has happened to be sometimes and it can be annoying to readjust 40+ backgrounds).

Just for that we actually created a config backup directory. Should something like a power outage cause a file corruption, you can go to the config_backup directory in your wallpaper_engine installation directory here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\wallpaper_engine\config_backups

Just grab the last (or second-last) file from there and move it one directory up. Just rename the backup file from something like "config_2021-01-01.json" to config.json and overwrite the existing, broken config file in the wallpaper_engine directory.

OH! Thanks for that!

I run a 2 PC streaming setup and long for the day where my playlists are just easily copied from one PC to the other. insert Pablo Escobar waiting meme here.
