Wallpaper Engine備份問題
我想請問一下 我家是有NAS存儲設備 所以我打算用steam裡面的資料庫直接把Wallpaper Engine移動到NAS 之後再重灌電腦在移動回來 那我的 桌布清單 跟設定檔案 如何備份?
還有一個問題 每個桌布都會有時鐘選像我都取消掉 那我要整樣把那個設定保留住 之後備份不用再重新再打開桌布的那張桌布去細項取消時鐘??

Then I want to ask another question, can the settings of my detailed items be backed up, because every time I move my small settings will be displayed again, and I have to put the option like "time display" on the tablecloth again. turn off again

It's possible to restore them, but right now this is a bit difficult. You have to find your old "monitor ID" in the config.json which looks similar to this:
//?/DISPLAY#ACI3433#5&319c3533&0&UID135430#{e6f07b5f-ee97-4a90-b076-33f57bf4eaa7}
and replace it with the new one by using "replace all" in the config.json file with your text editor.


We have finished a new system though which will make this much easier in the future. But since it's completely new, it will still require replacing the old ID manually one time. Since we want to be 100% sure that it doesn't break the settings of anyone already using Wallpaper Engine.

However, if you have this issue frequently, you could write us after the next update (which will still take a few weeks) and then we could explain how to enable this new system for you.

What I mean is that if I move Wallpaper Engine to a new computer after I move it to my NAS, will my set playlist disappear? Or the playlist is which file under the Wallpaper Engine path can I back up?

The playlist is stored in the "config.json" file in the "wallpaper_engine" installation directory. The config file assumes that your Windows user name stays the same, if that is the case, the playlist should continue to be visible. If you need help, you can come here again and we can help you out as long as you keep the original config.json file.

I understand, thank you very much for your reply, I am looking forward to updating this function in the future, because it is very annoying, every detail item of the wallpaper will occasionally show that I have to manually close one by one, and it will repeat like this when I reload the computer. Action, thank you very much, I hope to update this function as soon as possible, and thank you very much for your answer
